The theme of my exhibit is mostly scenery from american paintings and abstract art.Scenery always interested me, the "hillside pastures" and the "Franconia notch" share similarities because you see mountains in the background.I think the purpose they both share is to give you a look at the country side they both have that relaxing vibe.Both of these pictures can make you imagine that you were there. Also "Silent Dawn" can evoke emotion because you can imagine yourself in a snowball fight with your friends.
