Descriptive Analysis Paper
My descriptive analysis comes from a painting that reflects a train wreck that happened in Blackshear, Georgia. The canvas is displayed at the Pierce County Courthouse, under a secure glass. The painting was donated by a local family and it bears a small signature, however the original artist remains unspecified. The portrait serves as a continuous memento of the events that transpired on that day, the lives that were lost, and the history that was made.
