Snow Covered Landscape
Most people think of winter as a cold, miserable season with nothing to do; I feel it’s only as miserable as you make it! There is so much that can be appreciated when there is snow on the ground, you just need to find something you enjoy. This picture was taken from our pole-barn window, in January of 2014, on a snowmobile trip in Northern Wisconsin. My family’s land has become a midway resting place while snowmobiling; a place to get out of the elements and take in the view of the snow-covered landscape.
Looking at the center of this photo the view is blocked by a vertical, white interior window sill; this naturally draws attention in closer. The subsequent items seen

    The application of color and paint in a piece creates a noticeable surface texture within the work. This surface texture can be used to enhance the general chaos or conversely the straightforwardness of a work. The use of color within the image also has an effect on the overall mood of the painting and the viewer’s perception of the subjects. In Claude Monet’s Grainstacks (Snow Effect) the heavily textured surface of the painting and visibility of the separate brush strokes creates a sense of complexity, which along with the practice of keeping colors separate, adds to the visual depth of an otherwise very plain subject but still enforces the general mood of the painting. On the other hand in Kingstein’s Christ in a Pawn Shop the surface texture…

    To the left are picnic tables and to the right is a beautiful flowing creek filled with different animals, plants, and mosses and sometimes quartz crystals. I remember being able to see the fish as they swim underneath the icy cold water because the water is pure and crystal clear- it was not contaminated by human filth. Splashing a trudging through the water made my legs numb but I wouldn’t have had it any other way..…

Topic sentence. The first thing that catches one’s eye in this photo is the nearest streetlight because of the contrast between the streetlight and the night sky.…

    Forest Name: Quiet Ash Grove (Devil's Playground, Faustian Forest) Riding I: The Prowling Wolf, He is Caring __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Winters in Jump City, California were rarely bothersome and cruel, quite the opposite in fact. By night, when the shadows ruled the land, small flakes of snow would fall from dark clouds above, and bless the earth with its magnificent beauty and form. Water would freeze where it stood, and create the crystal-like pieces we have come to know as icicles. The trees would become bare, not a single leaf upon them, and all the greenery would fade out and perish almost immediately, but it was a price that was necessary to be paid for the charming winter décor.…

    Today, we have lovely weather in December; we have the breeze flowing smoothly, a crisp smell in the air, and the flowers beginning to bloom once again. The idea of a "white Christmas" as sung by Bing Crosby, has been forgotten from the minds of those in cities who have previously had blizzards and tons of snow in their yards every year during the winter. In the South, there are free pools in people's basements caused by rain, while California has turned into the Sahara Desert by lack of it. In Chicago, we have icy days one day, and the next day it’s as if it is summer.…

    In spite of this, my mind is focused on the skiers and snowboarders racing their way down and I feel a rush as I replay past trips down in my head. As our chair becomes even with the surface of the peak, I slide off and turn toward the trail I’d planned to take. Though it’s freezing cold, I barely notice under the abundance of layers I’m wearing. The sun hides behind a thin layer of clouds, illuminating the sky just enough to savor the view, but just enough overcast to give it an enchanted feel.…

    The American economy during the 1920s flourished while the lives of the American people turned lively and prosperous. Those apart of the American society grew to put a monetary value on everything, and many placed importance on leisure activities and earning more wealth.

Many modernist prose works of the 1920s have the common theme of people believing that money can fix problems occurring in their lives.…
