Paintings Without Fish

You usually picture a polar bear as being surrounded by snow and glaciers, but there are flowers in the far north. I enjoy his expression.

A sea of grass.

This seems very peaceful.

This is just dazzling.

The reflection on the water really makes it.

Now this is just stunning.

Part of me wants to say “oooohhh prettyyy” but I can’t help but think about how, as complimentary colors, blue and orange are especially appealing to the eye and used in both art and marketing to create a pleasant visual experience. If you don’t believe me, check out the last visual-focused blockbuster you saw (transformers?) and look at all the scenes with orange-tanned actors on blue backgrounds.
