I chose a painting of a woman that looks like she has a lot on her mind. She is sitting at a table, staring off into the distance with a glass half full of what appears to be wine. The painting seems to be reaching out to lonely or maybe just confused women. The lady in the painting looks to be depressed and maybe even upset too. It also appears that she has had more than one glass of wine because the bottle is about half empty. I think the purpose of the painting is to illustrate how when some people get depressed they resort to drinking to make them either forget or feel better. Either way I do not think that anyone should have to reach for the bottle when they are upset. We need to find better ways to solve our problems. Drinking can lead us into a lot of trouble if we are not careful.
zach,i like the painting you chose. toulouse-latrec was amazing at capturing the essence of life in bars and restaurants. this picture evokes feelings of melancholy and makes me want to reach out to offer her some words of comfort. great choice!
