Art Gallery Visit #1

Artist: Lanna Pejovic
Title: Oasis
Media: Triptych, Acrylic, Charcoal on canvas

I wanted to know more about what the artist was feeling/thinking about when she created this piece. It stuck out to me because of its chaos in colors and shapes but the title holds such a peaceful meaning.
Artist: Robert Wisner
Title: Naucet Moon
Media: Egg Tempera on Panel

I felt a connection with this piece because it reminds me of my family's beach house in Long Island. There is a long wooden boardwork to the beach just like this painting and it brings back all of the memories I had walking down my boardwalk.
Artist: Jim Mott
Title: Park Sunset
Media: Oil on board

This is another piece that I felt connected to because it reminds me so much of my hometown and how the sunset looks against the fields and trees. It brings me back to summer nights at bonfires and laying out with friends back in high school.


Artist: John Neel
Title: Storm
Media: Digital Pinhole Photography

This photograph made an impression on me first off because I love the art of photography and secondly the concept of a pinhole camera is very fascinating. The blurry effect it captured gives the photo a sort of imperfection which impacted me personally because sadly my biggest fear are thunderstorms.


Artist: Ron Ketchum
Title: Untitled
Media: Oil

This is another painting that I would like to know more about because again of its chaos. I want to know what the artist was feeling and why he chose the colors and strokes he used.





Artist: Paul Taylor
Title: Canandaigua Alleyway
Media: Watercolor

This painting made an impression on me because I have always loved being near the water. It is such a peaceful scene that has always comforted me as well as bring back memories with my family and friends.

  1. I am so happy that I keep coming across tours of museums that I have not seen yet. Although I do not know which one you went to, I loved the pieces that you chose. The boardwalk to the beach reminds me of my grandfather’s old beach house and the sunset is as beautiful as many that I have seen here in the North East. But, The Storm is my favorite piece. It is very interesting to look through the distortion to find the details. It is also beautiful the way that the light and color are melting together, and the technique is very intriguing. I want to try it myself. Thank you for sharing your tour with us!

  2. The"Naucet Moon" pice is nice. The moon is not the first thing you notice about the painting.
