Mandy's Food Painting - Gildea Elements of Art Description

In this piece, there is a great variety of color used from bright greens to yellow, red and brown. A sense of space is created with the circular shape of bowl, creating depth as the viewer "looks down" into the painting. There are darker values of color as seen inside the bowl with the painting of the food, and there are lighter values on the rim of the bowl. The texture of this painting is enhanced with small green pieces of vegetable which make the painting 3D.
