Michalopoulos Outer Journey

Viewing all the artistically different art galleries was  my favorite. Each had beauty and style of their own. Walking down the street, this bright red sign glistening from the sun and vibrant abstract paintings in the large square windows of this one particular art gallery jumped out at me. The red sign hanging high at the top of the rustic old, white wood door said Michalopoulos. A huge smile appeared on my face as I realized that this is the gallery of one of the famous painters I researched about. Walking into the gallery, through the big white doors, so many vibrant colors popping out from the solid white walls. People are lost in their imagination while staring into the paintings. Strangers faces are being taken into the beauty of art. I am drawn in to this one specific painting at first. The vibrant yellow paint catches me eyes. I examine the painting with its rough paint strokes adding in texture to it. I am blown away with how beautiful this painting is to me. The yellow painting of an old building in New Orleans on the street corner, drew my eyes into it. The abstract brush strokes of the extended street create such depth that made me feel like I am standing on the street corner. The yellow paint surrounding the light post brings real light into the painting. The different coloring used in the street and sidewalks brings abstract into the painting and gives you the feel of a bumpy sidewalk. I absolutely adored this painting.
