Criticism / Suggestions » Special snacks displayed during 14th China-A

This can be a highly debatable topic Carlton Davis Buccaneers Jersey , but I do think there are certain qualities a great painting should have. Feel free to disagree, but here is what I think.

It has to grab your attention and have the ability to draw someone in to have a closer look. There should be some snap or fire in the color harmonies even if it?s a darker painting. The lighting should be natural and have its own glow, unlike the faux lighting effects often used. There must also be detail in the shadows and dark sections of the painting as well as detail in the highlights. It should also achieve an adequate sense of depth.

The shading and brush work should be appropriately done. I say appropriately, because an artist may want to have a loose brush stroke as part of their style or effect and it?s acceptable for that painting. But in some paintings you can tell that the artist may have been a little lazy and did not render out an element as well as they could have. You can spot this by looking at other elements in the painting. See if they are of similar quality, or some spots of the painting are more refined than others.

The painting needs to have a certain level of detail, otherwise it did not take that long to make. You can see this when a painting gets your attention but the closer you get to the image or zoom in on an image the illusion falls apart. It?s because it lacks detail. I think that a painting should have enough detail so it holds up even when you get closer to it.

One of the most important effects a painting must have is the ability to pull you out of your element, and stir up emotions. Or if the painting causes you to reflect or ponder. If you can find yourself starting to mentally wander in the painting and it gets your imagination going, then it?s a good painting. But if you can feel somehow refreshed a little for having gotten lost in the painting and temporarily forgot about the days troubles, then it?s a great painting.

As an oil painter, I can tell you these are high standards and difficult to achieve, but I think these are the qualities that make a great painting. And I sincerely hope I have made some paintings that have these effects on you.

Now I also want to add that sometimes a great painting can be quite different than what I say here. This is because one also has to consider that an artist can take an idea or subject and have it distilled down in a way that you are getting only the cream or the main focus of the painting, but yet it says it all. Paintings like this are at the opposite spectrum of the way I paint, but they are valid. It also means that the artist has taken a great deal of time to work out their idea and have come to realize that this is the best way to communicate their vision or idea.

Again, this is what I think and the way I strive to paint. But using this information as a guideline will help you when deciding to purchase a piece of original art.

WELLINGTON, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Freight was rolling again on Friday morning on New Zealand South Island's Main North Line, 10 months after last November's 7.8-magnitude Kaikoura earthquake.


The first train carrying goods from Picton arrived in Christchurch on Friday, marking the start of a five-nights-per-week service, Transport Minister Simon Bridges said in a statement.


""Keeping freight flowing easily and efficiently around New Zealand is critical to our economic growth and keeping our communities connected,"" Bridges said, adding that having this key freight service running again is ""an immense achievement,"" which will take pressure off the inland routes while helping with the rebuild of State Highway 1 during the day.


""Today's first rail services, even in a limited capacity, will take around 2,000 trucks off the road each month, building to 4,000 trucks when the line is fully operating again by the end of the year,"" Bridges said.


Following November's quake, there were close to 60 major damage sites, including tunnels, bridges and embankments, and the line had been buried under more than 100 slips and landslides, he said, adding that approximately 60 bridges were damaged and repairs required at more than 750 sites.


Repairs have been conducted by over 1,500 workers from KiwiRail, the NZ Transport Agency and their partners in the North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure Recovery alliance, according to the minister.


""The government is committed to restoring the road and rail services along this important coastal corridor,"" Bridges said, adding that a range of business support packages were provided for the tourism industry and primary sector to rebuild the local economy.
