Art Museum

         I felt that there was a real connection between the paintings in the entrance of the museum and at least some of the themes within the Bible.  The one that sticks out most in my mind is the painting that was directly next to the exit on the right.  It was a canvas that was completely blue--not a dull blue, but a vibrant turquoise colour that had greens and yellows mixed within it to create a stunning new colour.  I felt a connection between this piece and the emotions involved in the flood story within the Bible.  The mixed qualities of the painting reminded me of the sort of chaos that exists within that story.  The complete blueness made me think of the water covering the entirety of the earth, nothing else visible except blue.  Everywhere.
