When I went to the McNay Art Museum I chose Song of Margaret for Margaret by Carl Rice Embrey. The painting was done with acrylic polymer emulsion on panel in 1973. This representational painting has a lot of eye catching and visually pleasing points. The feel of looking out onto a field from inside a room is a life like view.
One thing I noticed is that shape was used. This is because of the organic and geometric shapes found in this work. Geometric shapes are found in the windows, the square shaped drawers, and there are also rectangles throughout the work. Organic shapes can be seen in the trees as well as the blades of grass seen outside the window. The warm, analogous color scheme used in this work gives it a feeling of being in a calm
