On december 9th I visited the metropolitan museum of art. It was very educational and I enjoyed it. Here is my analysis of my favorite painting at the exhibit.

            Poppy Fields near Argenteuil  by Claude Monet, is an oil on canvas painting, of a person in a grassy field with a few trees. I originally chose this painting of over the others done by monet because of its very ornamented frame, and because I like landscape paintings. Speaking of the frame, it is gold with an intricate design made of various swirls and circular shapes. When seeing it in person it did not really stand out from any of the other pieces around it which consisted of mostly Monets and Manets works, they were all landscapes. The painting is bisected by the horizon which is made up of trees and mountains in the distance. Above this are puffy clouds with clearly visible brushstrokes, the colors go from a very pale white to a dull gray. The light blue sky can be seen in between the cracks of some of the clouds. Two tall trees about the length of three fourths of the height of the painting, pierce through the clouds, the taller of the two stretches from the grass field and rises up all the way to the top of the painting where its top is cropped out, the trees are located on the left side of the painting in both the top and bottom quadrants. The trees are a very dark green, and the many branches are barely distinguishable from each other because of the thick brush strokes.To the direct left of these two trees are two other trees which are much farther from us then the previously mentioned trees. At the root of the tree furthest to the left lies a pool of light blue which could be a patch of flowers or possibly even a pool of water.
