                This specific painting spoke up to me because the emotions that it raises are and seem nothing but painful, unhappy, depressed. When I looked at the painting from far away I say just legs as if the person was walking through cement normally with no pain or distress, but when I kept approaching closer and closer I saw a whole different picture than I did a few steps back.

                When I came closer and got right in front of the painting I saw its legs with hand marks. They were ordinary hand prints on it legs though, they seemed very dark and as if they were trying to cause the legs pain. They were very black, and they twisted around as if they were trying to pull the legs down for them to stumble and fall. It seems as if the hands for fire and pain. I find in particular the atmosphere/setting of the painting very provocative because it have very dark colors put into it like the colors red, black, grey, orange, to me those colors schemed together like that make it seem like if the place were a dungeon a very evil place. The artist seems to give off these thoughts by putting very dark colors to the setting and painting dark hands all around the legs as if they were burning the legs to reflect hurt and pain.

                The piece was set up with other different type of painting that were very different from the painting I looked and took notes from. The surroundings around it did not seem to have such a dark setting but somehow related a little bit with the pain. The paintings around also had some type of pain reflecting from them, but the colors did not seem to match. The light of it was seemed to be neutral not to dark and not to light, but that seemed to fit just right, it brought out the colors of it and made me focus more on the setting with the lighting, so I thought the light was just right. It seemed like a high-contrast lightning.

                It welcomes you to go view it up close, the closer you get the more detail you see and the more you seem to understand it . I feel like once you see it you see it for what it is, it gives you a pretty good idea in what is means and it trying to convey
