This painting i really liked because it has this bold simplicity to it and it really caught my eye. Another reason why i like this painting is because when i look at it i think of a weekend getaway, it looks like somewhere you can go and just get away from all the city life and craziness. I also liked about this painting that its at sunset and you can see all the shadows on the house and from the bushes.

This is another painting by Edward Hopper that i also liked because it reminded me a lot of summer and being on vacation. Another thing i found interesting about this painting was that the house used in the painting above looks like the same house as the one in this picture just from another angle. I also liked how he painted the sky so it kinda fades lighter as it goes down,which really brings out the depth in the painting.
