Palmer Experience

The artist of this painting is James B. Turnhill and the title of the painting is call Miner's Lunch. He used a assortment of oil base paints on this particular canvas which was created in 1948. It depicts two coals miner relaxing for a lunch break which I'm sure in those days was very necessary for the amount of energy they put into working those mines. Besides the relaxation of the two men it also shows the human sympathy of working the mines. Even through the 1940s and even in today's standard mining is very dangerous occupation. In the 40's with entrance of  WWII, coal production saw high rates of production.

I was not able to find much about the artist who made this piece of artwork but I'm sure he was trying to tell the story of the life of a miner or maybe just a glispe of it. The one miner is looking down at his sandwich with milk in hand trying to conserve energy, while the other man lays back with his apple in hand having a exhausted expression but also glad its break time. Not sure if this piece of art is making a political statement but I am sure its probably making a social statement about the life of the miner and the troubles they endure.

The experience I had visiting at the Palmer Museum was not anything sufficient for me. The art was all right but I like more history behind different artifacts and relics instead glancing at piece of art. Though it was a good experience and I am glad I went.

Hello

This is my first ever blog. I'm not the biggest fan of blogging but I'll see where this will take me. The lay out of my blog is in a sense calming and easy on the eyes. I get my some inspiration from the class blog and its simplicity. The template was called "traveling", I thought it was just cool and collective. No clutter and easy to read. Also it has a hipster like feel to it. Not sure on how this will reflect on me as a person but I think I can learn from blogging and make new experiences in the future if necessary. As for the blog itself. The color and font are simple and aren't annoying to the eyes. I think this will be a overall a good experience.
