First Feeling：
When I first see this artwork, I have a feeling of harmony and happiness. I feel that those people in that art work are very happy with their life.
Analysis：
Lines are used in this picture to create many objects (tree, people and animal). The scaling of the people, animals and trees are kept realistic. This artwork contains foreground and background that makes its space quite deep in order to balance the perspective weight due to the asymmetry arrangement of the foreground. The light source in this artwork is not very strong but it seems to appear from the front because the reflection on the leaves can be found.
Furthermore, simple shapes are applied in this artwork and this artwork has smooth texture due to its simple shapes. The artists use analogous color (brown, yellow, green and blue) to create a feeling of harmony. Monochromatic colors are also applied in the artwork to show the shadows and reflection.
The oil painting artwork Mother Nature’s Bounty Harvest shows a scenery where people are being busy with harvesting. It is an abstractionism artwork that shows the artist’s love to the mother-nature. Besides, the artists organizes this artwork according to the rule of thirds that the folks take up about 1/3 space below while the god and the other views takes up about 2/3 spaces above. By using analogous color and simple shapes, this oil painting art work portrays a feeling of happiness and harmony.
The artists, Victorio, Galo and Carlos create this painting in 1935 commissioned for their patron’s residence. These three artists used to work on several occasion to produce public murals in rapidly modernizing Manila. Victorio is a Filipino painter who was the leader of the revolutionary Thirteen Moderns, Galo was the first Filipino artist to study heraldry and he was a member of the International Institute of Genealogy and Heraldry in Madrid and Carlos was popularly known as Botong and he was a muralist from Angono. I think these artists were trying to express their love to the land they are living and the nature so that they create this artwork.
