This was the first picture that I took. The woman in this picture is also a actress for the movie, Harry Potter, she plays as Bellatrix. When I saw it I was expecting a darker picture, something to go with her actor character but was surprised to see an autumn setting. ( The little plaque under the picture said this was an autumn evening ) The picture looks quite old, as in set in old times, due to the pale oranges, yellows and pinks. The lack of outline on the house behind shows that it is not as important as the woman who is in the middle, the darker lines indicate that she is the main attraction for this painting. Although this painting has that olden look / feel to it, her face looks to be more modern, as if you were looking at a person in modern time, in an olden setting. This is why this painting was one of my favourites out of all the others, also because she was my favourite character from the Harry Potter movies.
This was the second picture that I took, this was in the same room as the first picture, but on the opposite wall. What got my attention was the gold crown on the mans head and how that stood out from the dark background. Although he isn't wearing bright colours, you are grabbed to the attention as his forward posture almost looks as if he is watching you closely. The background wasn't that easy to see what was going on as it had many dark greens and blues that any buildings or objects were masked. It did however look like a very old building behind, with a cobble looking road. I don't remember exactly as it never got my attention as much as the man with the crown. I was also more intrigued on his clothing, it looks to be a soldier uniform, like a general. Even though this painting is quite dark and eerie, I do think that this is a beautiful painting as you aren't bored of looking at it due to its darkness, but it brings you in to look closer to decipher. ( I didn't look at the plaque for this painting so I am unable to say what is actually going on )
