Red Balloon

For my secong painting I chose the one in the middle. This one does not seem to be trying to portray an image from real life or a religious or philosophical lesson unlike the other painting I analyzed. Instead it seems to be more content with just being, and being pleasing to look at, not to mention stimulating. However the artist does use soft colors and a lack of people to give the painting a more calm and peaceful look. The main focal point of the image is of course the red hot-air balloon, as it is not only the largest object, but it has the most solid red which is also the strongest in the painting. The artist also uses a surreal style, but balances the colors on both sides of the image.
