The support by Rolinda Stotts is captivating because of the contrast, texture, and symmetry. The instant I looked at this painting I fell in love with it. Its warmth is very inviting, and reassuring. This is done by the contrast/color palette Rolinda chose. Upon first glance you see white aspens popping off a brown textured canvas. The painting doesn't look like it was done on normal canvas though; it looks like it was done on a piece of wood. I believe this was done on purpose, to keep the same theme of trees alive. Looking at the painting closely you can see that there is a distinct texture. When you get closer it looks as though it is bark. The painting also creates a nice symmetric look making it look clean and crisp.
I think Rolinda created a piece of artwork that is absolutely amazing. There are so many different feelings that come from it; you can feel happy, peaceful, warm, etc. That’s the beauty of artwork; you can interpret something completely different then the next. Rolinda probably thought of her painting completely different then what we did. I think that is the intent of a painting like this, to allow others to think for themselves.

Aspens are memorable. It is most interesting how art can be interpreted by different people, and even at different times. That is an excellent observation that intent of a painting is to "allow others to think for themselves. I agree. I think that's how books are too.
