Vija Celmins

I found Vija Celmin's paintings to be very intriguing.  This painting, entitled Comet, is probably one of my favorite paintings I have seen so far in class.  I also enjoy the spider webs.  Vija's paintings are mostly of nature, and some are just of objects.  I found her paintings to be very deep and thought out.  She was very particular about certain things and always had confident in her work.  The spider web, which was probably a very difficult painting, came out to look exactly like a spider web would, like it was photographed.  Also, the use of different colors and contrast in her ocean photos gave a relaxed tone.
