I thought that David Winston's work titled "Solitude" was a great example of point of view. I believe that certain points of view are crucial in making works of art appealing to the viewer's eye.
I learned from working with the assignment "The Story of this Place". I realized that simply painting a scene from a normal standpoint was too boring and it would not be as dynamic and effective as if I were to paint it crooked or even from looking up. I chose looking at an angle of my situation. Since my scene was from an excited car situation, I wanted it to come off as being frantic and shaky. Which really surprised me is that I could really pull that effect off by simply changing the perspective of the artwork.
In the artwork I chose in this blog, I think he chose a great perspective for this artwork. It is evident that he wanted to show the tree in wintertime. However, instead of portraying a shot of the tree from the frontal view, he chose to get the fence in the way, too. The effect of the bending fence makes the tree seem farther away. The viewer gets a serene feeling of comfort in this piece. You can also get a sense of depth from the background because the details fade away.
