In this task I would introduce a paiting wich name “ocean” by Etel Adnan.This painter is a 92 years old painter in Lebanon , and she always draws the river, ocean and hill. The color of her picture is not a simple response to what she sees, but it is decides by her senses. Her paintings were created using a palette knife to apply oil paint onto the canvas often directly from the tube in firm swipes across the picture’s surface. From this picture we can see the “immediate beauty of colour”, and the pure color with square sun organize a extremely attractive picture. I really like her color which is very simple but strong. From the picture, I can feel the purity of ocean and the impact of color on our vision.

In the meantime, I will introduce another photo by Luca Tombolini who is a Milan-based photographer. He enjoys exploring deaserts , and he thinks deaserts are attractive and mysterious. We can throungh this image see that the interaction between the self and its environment It is different from Etel’s painting, which is a real photo about a desert . But  these two images  also have various same points because they both have pure color and simple graphs which all coming from nature, and photo is more directly to describe the purity beauty of nature.These two picture one is painting about ocean, another on e is photo about desert all use simple nature elements, pure color and high contrast to stop people’s vision.
