The Little Female Worker

The artist of this picture” The Little Female Worker” is Helen McNicoll. This art is done in 1907. There are both warm and cold colors in this picture. The pictures represents a windy day in summer because the grass is yellow and the girl’s dress is moving toward one side. When I look at the picture I feel tired and warm. The reason to this is that the girl in the picture is working really hard in a warm day in summer. The subject of this picture is landscape. This picture has drawn with oil on canvas. It sold to Art Gallery Of Ontario on 1983. In my opinion this picture is pretty good and interesting, because I can feel like the person in the picture also I like the bright colors (yellow, white, green) used in the picture..

This picture “Fishing” is by Helen McNicoll. The subject of this picture is nature. It has been drawn with oil on canvas on 1907. There are both cold and warm colors in this picture. It looks like it’s a sunny day in spring. It looks that the weather is hot and the girls are sitting in the shade fishing for food. The girls look lonely because there’re young and no adult is with them. I feel lonely when I look at this picture, although there’re are two girls in the picture. They look like sisters who don’t have any family. In my opinion this picture is really beautiful and it seems McNicoll have spent a lot of time painting the sun reflection on the water and grass and tree’s leaves. I also like that she used green, brown and yellow in the picture, because when look at the picture it feels calm and nothing really stands out (except the two person. I’m talking about the nature around them).

Morning, Lake SuperiorMorning, Lake Superior is by Lawren Harris a Canadian famous painter. It was drawn in 1921 by oil on canvas. The subject of this picture is Canadian Landscape. There are both cold and warm color in this picture but mostly cold ”blue”. The picture is really peaceful. When I look at this picture I feel calm. I like how there’s a blanket of snow on the mountains and in front sun reflection on the water, The picture looks great. It doesn’t really look real but it looks like you can walk into the picture. In my opinion, this picture is wonderful and looks really peaceful because of the both bright and dark colors used in the picture. I don’t really know what the blue layers at the back of the picture e is, but in my opinion it makes the picture look more interesting and beautiful.

This painting has been drawn by Lawren Harris on 1930 on beaverboard with oil. The subject of this painting is landscapes of the North Canada. This picture had both warm and cold colors. There’re shades on some parts of the mountain and clouds. The picture makes me feel sad and lonely because the colors used in the picture are mostly dark. Although I don’t feel good while looking at this picture, I think the picture is really beautiful. I like how Lawren Harris painted shades in some parts of the picture. I like the whole picture, but when you look at each separate part of the picture separately, it doesn’t really look good. I think the dark colour of the sea doesn’t match the color (brown) of the mountain.
