The title of this painting is 2007 World Series Champions by the artist Dave Olsen. The subject of this painting is the 2007 Boston Red Sox team that won the world series. The medium of the painting is painting with acrylics and water colors on bristol board. This is a painting of every single player that was on the Red Sox team.
Balance is in this painting because there are paintings of players on the side and then a players in the middle as if the players in the middle are to separate the players on the side. Also color is in this because of some of the different colors he used in thie painting like dark green, light green, white, black, tan and red. Highlight is in this painting because there are some players that are all white as if light is shed on them. Hue is in the painting because there is shading, and light source on some of the players. Juxtaposition is this painting from having some of the players side by side. Realism would be in this painting by having all the players accurate to how they really look. Shade is in here from the players at the top of the painting where they have shadows on their jerseys. Subject matter is in this whole painting because this painting is about all of the players. All the jerseys and faces would be texture because of all the detail put into it. There is a tone because of how he uses all the colors he used. Value is in this painting because of how he goes from dark green all the way down to white and how some players jerseys are light white and dark white.
The story within this piece would be the team itself. It’s showing all the members of the team that was able to get the Boston Red Sox a world series championship. What I found really good about this painting was the value. He went from dark green at the top of the painting and blended all the way to white at the bottom of the painting. Also having some of the jerseys have shading on it and others be just all white.
