Osvaldo Louis Guglielmi “Connecticut Autumn”

                          Osvaldo Louis Gugliemi draws the audience in with his rolling hills set in the background. The hills are shaded with strong warm colors and no two mountains are alike. You can locate the crops in the painting because of the different shades of green that are used. In one of the crops you can indicate a tractor in the middle of the field. You can tell it’s a tractor because of the hot steam drifting into the sky. The green bushes placed randomly throughout the picture are decorated with crisp leaves.

                       The hills at the very back of the painting are a cool blue and getting into more of a deeper blue as they get further away. Over all this painting is named very accurately. It uses bold and festive autumn colors and the painting is titled “Connecticut Autumn.” The houses are painted daintily and spread out among the painting. They are all a bright white color symbolizing the way people lived in the 1930s. The painting speaks to me in its overall color choices and composition.
