"Two Path's" Critique.

"Two Paths" by the artist, Brett X. Gamache, is painted within the hills of Italy. The medium used is oils. The subject matter consists of a woodland landscape. The movement inside the painting gives the viewer a sensory of a summer breeze through your hair and against your face. The way the oils mesh together creates a hue of shades and tones of greens.
The viewer may interpret this painting as a way of making a hard choice. The allegory of this painting, could represent a time or experience in the artist’s life where he had to make a difficult decision. The composition of the piece is very blended. Everything blends together, but the viewer can still pick out certain details, and if studied long enough the oils really come alive right in front of you. What is rendered in this painting is a problem, and the realism of the painting makes the viewer want to visit the scene and see what exactly is around the bends. This plein air painting is over all proportionate and is enjoying enough to dream and think about even when its not being looked at.
