                The Critique I have chosen is a combination of dreams and imagination. Dreams and imagination are a sight of our future based off of some people. Dreams are only figments of our imagination based on our past and thoughts. In the painting “The Beautiful Light” the painter “John Scheffler” uses shade and abstract expressionism to attract the eye by  feeling of triumph.

                The shade in the painting “The Beautiful Light” is very important to the picture. The shade emphasizes the picture as a whole. The dock creeps into murky water as the dark mountains in the horizon show antoher land of darkness. As the sky is too grey and dark. He sends a mood throughtout the painting using almost the same color. The trees are dark and grey also to put an emphasis on the shade. That’s how shade was used in the Painting “The Beautiful Light”.

                John Scheffler uses abstract expressionism like no other in the painting “The Beautiful Light”. He uses the shade to emphasize this apsect of the painting. The painting is all gloomy and dark wwith the murky water to follow. Then the creepy mountains in the horizon show a dark side. But then there is a spot of light, just a glimpse of the sun. It shows a sign of hope. That’s what he was trying to emphasize. That was his feeling going towards this painting. He felt that the world was getting dark and filled with hatred but then theres a light at the end of the tunnel; theres hope out there for all of us to become better than what we are. That was his feeling going into painting this painting.

                The painting “The Beautiful Light” is inspiring. It shows that it’s never to late and theres always hope out there. He showed us and without even looking at the picture we could just see it with in us. When you see the picture you can tell already what the point behind it was. That’s why in the painting “The Beautiful Light” John Scheffler uses shade and abstract expressionism to attract they eye with a sight of triumph.
