This piece displays a very gloomy image. It is a canvas painting with what seems to be some sort of pastel. The piece consists of very few colors such as grey, brown, black, and touches of bashe. The painting carries a very foggy smokey look reflecting a gloomy and depressing vibe. In the center is what looks to be the remains of a mansion or a large estate for only the big arch entrance is standing. The large entrance is surrounded by black dead leafless trees as well as gravestones and crosses in the ground all of which are located in the center of the piece. On the outer parts of the painting, is nothing but emptiness. While this painting is some what abstract, its details reflect a common theme, termination. The mansion which used to exist had been deteriorated with time and only its entrance has been left behind. The trees which used to be colorful, leafy, and most importantly alive, with time have died and left behind only their corpses. The people, who’s time has unfortunately expired has left nothing but a grave stone. The bottom right part of the piece is rather interesting for it has a very dark mustard color thus making it the lightest part of the image. If my assumption is correct the artist used that color to represent a sun rising. This rising sun is shining light on the the bottom dark part of the painting. I believe the real message is that from death comes birth.
