As I first looked at the piece "Lavender Mist" by Jackson Pollock I thought how incredibly stupid the piece was.  In fact, when I looked at more of Pollock’s pieces I didn’t like any of them because they were all so simple.  They all consisted of the same splattering of paint across a huge piece of canvas.  The simple paintings contained different colors but all seemed the same.  Then I took a closer look and saw how truly amazing all of Pollock’s paintings are.  They all looked somewhat the same yet, all contained a different feel.  And if you look at Pollock’s life, you could see how his times are reflected in his giant paintings.  He would stand over the huge canvases, brush in one hand, paint in the other, and hurl his brush side to side creating numerous lines of splattered paint.  The splattered effect crosses over the lines of paint again and again creating layers and layers of lines.  The paint then gets extremely thick and layered, to give a feel that Pollock really worked on this thing, and the fact is that he did work hard on all his paintings.  I chose "Lavender Mist"  because I love the color choice and the actual painting is gigantic, telling me that Pollock put his heart, soul, and body into this piece, and it truly shows in his painting, "Lavender Mist".
