When looking at all three of these pictures, you will notice something that is common. They are all landscapes. In the first picture, which is by Cuba Gallery, it is a picture of a wire fence traveling into distant fog. They didn't name the piece on Flickr, so the name it had said was just landscape. In the picture, they had used leading lines to draw us from the front of the picture all the way to the back and through the fog. There is also a level horizon going through the background of the picture, showing us where the fog begins and where the land ends. The mood that is evoked in this picture is wonder, because the fog makes you wonder what lies beyond it. The next two pictures are both by the same artist, Rudolf Vicek. In both pictures I enjoy how he had them in black and white, it gives more of a dramatic feeling. In the second picture he uses leading lines with the trees and the road to lead us into the fog, and makes it seem like the road joust keeps on going up into the sky. He also uses the road as a curved leading line in the beginning to make it seem like you are turning into the picture when you look at it. The in the third picture Vicek uses leading lines to draw us from one side of the picture through the landscape to end on the other side. He also uses rule of thirds in both of the pictures, by separating each of the leading lines into their own third of the picture. In the first of Vicek's pictures he evokes the mood of bittersweetness, because it might remind some people of long drives with he family as they go to visit relatives on a holiday. The in his second picture he evokes loneliness, because it is such a desolate place with the poles and wires traveling through it, and in taday's world no one really uses land lines anymore, so the scene is also abandoned leaving the viewer's feeling the loneliness of the area.

I will be creating a landscape, and I will be attempting to do a wood transfer with the picture. By using wood I will give my picture a rustic feeling, which I want to have because the feeling I am trying to have is exuberance. I will be using a picture of my fireplace with our stockings hung on it for christmas. This reminds me of all the happy memories that my family has shared together through the years. I will have artificial lighting, with a flash from the camera. I will be having an architectural, and the final piece will be pretty large, but I do not know the exact measurements of the wood piece I am using.
