While visiting the Cook Center I chose the painting Shootout at Big Muddy by Carl Hantman because I saw so much going on in the simple painting. It invoked a lot of thought as well as visual stimulation.
The medium of this piece is oil paint while the support is board. It's dimensions are 39" by 28". The values are mostly dark with fewer exceptions of light. The artist mixed warm hues of rich reddish earth tones

sky chaotic and detailed with the darker colors almost engulfing the lighter hues of blue while the earth seems completely dark, not as well focused and vast containing many implied lines of movement. I think that this suggest a faster movement than the figures because of the visual brush strokes but more obvious, the slight color gradient is diagonally directional as well. As if the earth and sky were spinning around them during this battle.
