Reviewing art 

I chose this piece of art out of all the others because this one was interesting and a piece that I've never seen before. I also think the techniques are a little different from the other paintings because it looks like the paint was blotted to make the scene look more realistic, it seems as if it is raining and there is an umbrella held above the couple's heads and the ground is also wet from the rain.

I like how the blotting technique was used on this piece because it seems a lot more realistically painted which gives the painter credit for producing a fascinating piece without being careless with it. The ground glistens because of the rain and the light is also reflected which makes the piece more attention grabbing and the scene doesn't look perfect because the grass isn't all green and there are a few scattered leaves on the sides of the ground .  

What I want to know is what gallery this painting is placed in because I want to know if all the paintings by this artist has the same technique used and if this artist is still alive or has other famous paintings around. I also want to know if this painting was inspired by a real life occasion that occurred and if the painter was part of it.

Paintings tell stories, for this one, it looks like a couple is walking home from a walk in the evening . If they were walking forward it seems as if they're trying to get out of the park, but if they are walking backwards, it seems as if they are walking into a blur of darkness, most likely the woods. If they are walking towards the woods, why would they want to be there? People who are mysterious with their identity will only seem to go in the woods and the couple doesn't really look like they're criminals and criminals go to the woods to bury bodies but they don't seem to have a body in their arms so what are they trying to attempt?

I like this painting, it's simple and isn't like the other paintings where there are mystical creatures and something impossible or unrealistic. I don't like how the painting is so dark but the darker it is it gives off more mysterious vibes but if the scene occurred during daylight, it seems more brighter making people more attracted to it because of the vibrant colours. But this may not be true necessary. If this was painted when the "Starry Nights" painting by Vincent Van Gogh became famous, that would explain a lot because that is a very famous painting and has dark colours and Van Gogh also has many more paintings with dark colours because he thought the night was more beautiful than the day and maybe this artist agrees with him.

Therefore I think this painting is the most riveting out of the other ones.
