The Arts

So today I went to the local art gallery. My favourite ever peice of art is in this gallery. It is by the artist Solomon J. Solomon. It is called Ajax and Cassandra. Yes, it is a slightly controversial peice of art work, but I just love it! The softness of the paint, the entire emotion of the peice and the fact that it is in my local art gallery! I have sat and studied this peice many time before today, but it seems that every time I sit in front of it, I see more. The way the smoke curls across the front of the image, the way Ajax's foot is bent on the pillar, the way the cloth is over Cassandra's body. Every time it is something different. Of course there are other peices which I do enjoy, but Ajax and Cassandra is my favourite!
