Cafe Terrace at Night

Exectued in early September of 1888, also known as The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum provides such a vibrant and alive feeling. The subject is evident in which he uses to light and lines to convey it. A well lit community placed directly under patio that seems happy and conversating and filled with life and normality. The sky is animated and most of the windows are fully lit. However, once you begin to follow the oil painting towards the back, a dark evil shadow like creature is presented almost resembling that of a grim reaper. This could be interpreted as a sense of the three part life with heaven, being the sky, purgatory, being the well lit enviornment, and hell, being conveyed by the entity. The painting seems to be dominant with the heaven and purgatory side of things in hopes to portray the good side and the influence of it, although he does include the evil side creeping to portray its linger and presense, this painting definitely shows, regardless of the incident with his father, his positive and good beliefs were still evident. With the painting, due to the overwhelming colors and brightness, I feel alive and happy. With his focus on the happy and nature side of things, in contrast to the miniscule aspect of the darks side, it makes me feel hopeful and that good will always prevail.

My Cultural Feast

Greetings, my cultural diet consist of most things technology base and derive from the love that I developed as a young lad. Whether it may be as passive as laying back and watching my favorite TV show, also widely considered as one of the best (How I Met Your Mother), or something more dynamic as crafting and maintaining a personal computer. I tend to do my best to get gritty and find my ways to all the secrets of all technology devices by constantly eating it up. In one of those devices (my phone) contains a neat little music play list constructed of the most awesome and blood gushing music that I have found in the last couple decades. Ranging anywhere from country to EDM, this era of rap to rock, some good old rock, and I'll even toss in some classical music. Of course, who could forget about the notorious social media apps. I spend most of my time browsing the lovely Twitter, and to be honest, its just to keep myself updated on sports that's happening or has happened recently, especially the news that pertain to the Patriots. In conclusion, from time to time, I'll gladly indulge in some canvas and browse the plethora of art displayed in a museum, and when I finish, I'll consume some food that can potentially derive from any country. I do tend to stick more closely to countries located in Asia, but I'll always be open to, see, eat, explore, and hear things from other countries as well.
