Art Gallery Extra Credit
While walking around the Art Gallery a certain painting caught my eye. The painting "Cowgirls Dusk" by Rod Peterson is beautiful because of the colors, details, and it is inspiring. The colors in the sky are powerful and bold. The pink and purple mixed make a mesmerizing sunset. Every color captures the moment. You can see the passion Rod put into it. The classic blue car is detailed with care. Even though it takes up almost the whole picture, it does not take away from other focal points. To me this painting symbolizes inspiration and hope. Looking out over the falling night sky, this girl has time to reflect. Maybe feeling a lone she drives into isolation to find herself. Sometimes when I feel all alone or had a bad day, I like to look over the mountains or city lights. It gives me a chance to relax, think, and hope. I think that is what she is doing. Over coming a difficult time, trying to feel better and become stronger. She may be alone now, but she has hope for tomorrow.
