This work of art is by Steve Thoms. I think this piece is VERY appealing to the eyes and is an above average example of how use of color can be effective in a work of art.
Thoms used bold reds and yellows to portray this work "Poppies". Seeing the bright yellow-orange of the sky really gives you a sense of depth in the sky (dealing with clouds and the sun). This beautiful sky in the background is set up against the bright red poppies that are growing on the bland-green grass. This technique really makes the flowers stand out, as well. The use of color for the trees in the upper left corner of the print is effective because it is a very dark green, which sets off the bold color of the sunlit sky.
The use of intermediate colors in this artwork is very effective. The yellow-orange and the red-orange in the painting offset each other and compliment nicely. It reminds me of the DVD that was shown in class of the Japanese women fighting in the park. The colors are very bold and appealing to the eye in this piece, just as well as in the movie that was viewed in class.
