Art Timeline I chose to do nature paintings by famous artist. 1829- Sunset, Fighting Bucks This painting was created by William Turner. He got his inspiration from the Lake in Petworth. In this painting, you can see some of his brush strokes and lines like in the sky. But on the trees to the side and the bucks down in the field are somewhat detailed and they are not just a stroke of a brush.

It too looks like a photograph taken when it is really a painting. 1877- Corner of the Garden at Montgeron This piece of art was created by Claude Monet. He is known as the classic impressionist. In this painting, he captures the ever-changing nature of light and color. Unlike a lot of paintings, you can see the brush strokes in this painting. But I believe that the brush strokes used help create the piece of art and they help show the leaves and flowers on the trees. Also, it helps make the clouds in the sky look more hazy and beautiful. Early 1900’s- From the Lake This painting was created by Georgia O’Keeffe. She spent her days at Lake George in New York and there is where she got her inspiration for her painting. This painting is an unusual painting because it is not a painting where you can see exactly what things are. You can make out the blue as water and the grey colors as clouds. She does well to not show her brush strokes in the painting. Everything is painted to where it looks real even though it is hard to make out what it is that you are looking
