First Picture




This painting, done by James Kern, is unique and known for types of paintings he does. He is a very unique painter. With this painting titled “Love” he uses different techniques to emphasize his emotion of love.
Looking at this painting, it’s obvious that the focal point is on the heart. The flames around it emphasize the heart and the feeling. Also, it is a movement to the picture, as the flames seem to continue to burn around it. Within the painting, there are a few main colors, but a whole range of tones with the pink in the heart and the orange in the flames. Also, along the edges of the flames, there are tints of deep blue and green to outline it. The blues and greens are also subtle to the painting, because the viewer has to look closely to the defined flames. By looking at the painting, one should interpret the meaning of deep true love.
A painting like this shows how strong and deep love can be and if your love for someone is extreme enough, love actually hurts or “burns” because it is such a great feeling. But, it always feels good and the love always continues.
