We Finally Viewed the Original!
My name is Amanda Rice and I am a student in EDM310 at the University of South Alabama. I commented on your blog closer to the beginning of the semester. I am glad you are enjoying your trip to Ireland. I never knew that some painting had certain viewing hours for limited light exposure. I'm glad they let you take a picture of it. It looks awesome in the picture, I could only imagine how much better it would look in person. Your question that you posted under the picture,I would have to say yes. There have been a few things throughout my life that I have read, seen, or heard that has changed my life. I cannot think of a certain example at the moment, but I know that it has happened.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Chelsea Calvert. I am in EDM 310 and I'm also in your tuesday class. I am glad to see your enjoying your trip. This picture is amazing. There are so many thing that I have seen in life that have changed me. I believe you are formed by the things around you.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most beautiful and moving work of art I have seen in a very long time. It is exactly what art should be - meaningful. I can only imagine what is looked like in person.
ReplyDeleteAt my age I have seen, heard and read many things that changed me as a person. The most meaningful thing I have ever seen was when I was 22 years old and I saw my daddy grab my mother in a huge bear hug and kiss her - I mean REALLY kiss her. It was something I have never seen before. It moved me to tears. It also changed me. They had experienced a lot of turmoil up to that point and I knew that they were willing to work through it all. They had been married for 25 years that year. They have been married 46 years this year.
Gina,
ReplyDeleteYour life-changing event is so beautiful! I sure hope you have shared that with them.
The color is amazing and the painting is very vivid and detailed compared to other water colors that I have seen. I love the vibe that emanates from this painting. It's so romantic and hidden. It seems appropriate to be hidden behind the black doors. Not only to preserve its quality but because the moment seems so private. I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteGreat point Emily; the "hidden" aspect of the painting accentuates the story it tells. Love it!
ReplyDeleteDr. Vitulli,
ReplyDeleteAhh I love it!It's the painting you were talking about in class, behind the black doors. It definitely has very brilliant blue and red, that would definitely lead me to swear it wasn't a watercolor. That's awesome! Glad you enjoyed your experience.
