My Favorite Painting - Kusha Malik
I think my favorite painting is probably "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer. I really like this painting because of how realistic it is and the "renaissance" type style. I love the painterly, oil style, and life in the painting. I think the cracks in the painting from age honestly really add to the effect of the painting. I really love this painting and the rest of Johannes Vermeer's paintings.

Alexa Mervine - My Favorite Painting
Starry Night: I like this painting because of the method used while painting. The photo is made up of brush strokes going in the direction of the object being created and it seems aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The pattern of the sky is closely blended together to get every shade of blue in the night sky. Van Gogh's dimness of the night sky shows his quest to overcome his illness. The village is painted with dark colors but the brightly lit windows create a sense of comfort.
