The picture above is called "The Window". In this picture I feel like I am in Europe. The red roves, light blue water, and textured streets capture the looks of Europe spot-on. I really love this painting because it not only shows Bonnard's environment, but it also shows us, the viewers, what he loves.
In the picture above, "The Almond Tree in Bloom" I feel like it is a brisk fall day. I was lead to believe that it is fall by the leaves on the ground, and the colors on the trees around the focal point. I like this painting for one main reason, the contrast between warm and cool colors. As a viewer I have always loved contrasting colors because of the way it moves my eyes around the canvas, but it's so hard to do without overriding the piece with colors. I love how Bonnard is able to add contrast, but not take away from the focus of the painting.
In the final painting I have decided to review I can sense a feeling of mystery. Its seems to be dark a gloomy because of the deep shadows and the woman's, Martha, facial expressions. To me, it seems like she is trying to leave through the open door, but for some reason she knows that she can't leave.
