A piece of art I saw that invoked strong feelings was “Flower Sniffer” by Emma Amos. “Flower Sniffer,” with its background complementary colors (blue and orange) fit in with the wallpaper behind it, but also drew me in with its more muted color palette. Looking at this painting, I felt calmer and more grounded. This piece presents a quiet and intimate moment; we peer through a rounded frame, a literal window. The painting allows personal interpretation because the story behind it and the woman is not clear, as emphasized by the rough brushstrokes.
