Warmth

Good morning/afternoon/evening! Thus begins my first official post about art and what it means to me! This piece here was created by my sister Michelle Stoney. She is a recent graduate of the Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
Make the image on this post as big as you can. Click on it or something.
Take some time and just look at it.
What do you feel?
What do you think it's supposed to represent?

When I look at this painting, I feel safe. I feel warmth wash over me. I feel content and comfortable.

Taking from my Fine Arts course, I think these feelings can stem from the lines in the painting. There aren't any straight lines (besides the border but whatever). Another thing I like about this painting are the colours. Red is my favourite colour, so it's obvious that I would find this painting attractive. The different shades are neat because the painting is essentially one type of colour. I like that it's not as busy as most other paintings. It's definitely something you don't see very often...

After a short discussion about her painting, Michelle told me that she felt the same way while and after she was done painting it. We both have the same favourite colour by the way.
She told me that this painting represented a fish egg waiting to be spawned. The circle on the bottom left is the egg. The "s" shapes on the top reminded us of the fish's ribs.
Do you see it? Pretty cool hey?

Does the image of this fish egg change the way you feel at all?
It didn't for me. I still feel warmth because this fish egg is being cared for; it's so vulnerable yet it's so protected. You may feel different (and that's great!) but that protection equates to warmth and comfort to me.

You could feel something TOTALLY different. If you do, tell me what you feel! There are no wrong answers when it comes to the interpretation of art (as long as you take a respectable approach to it!)

Until next time!
