The trees have lost all their leaves. The structure which looks like leftovers from what once was a house, barely standing. the cemetery looks dark and abandoned. The second you lay your eyes on this picture you get a sense of darkness and depression. You can derive that when completing this work of art, the artist was not in the right state of mind. It looks like his mind was gloomy and possibly in a stage of his life where he was contemplating suicide. Everything in the painting is dead or withered. Cemeteries are often neat and have someone, a caretaker,  to keep the grass green and trimmed. however all there is here is abandonment.

Although we have all this negativity compressed into this one painting, you can still see that the painter projects hope and possibly a chance for a longer life. looking closely and analyzing the contents of this painting you’ll see large oak trees. Although they’re withered and leafless they are still oak trees. you might wonder what is so hopeful about having am oak tree in this painting. Oak trees are known for their long life span. some living for thousands of years. in my opinion this artist is going through a rough phase in his life and might be depressed but i also believe that he still has hope and still believes that his life will be better.
