"Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps" (1812)by Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1775-1851, medium is oil on canvas. The use of the dark colors drew me to this painting. It is over powering. The people are barely visible. There is the sun or moon in the distance but due to the storm cloud you can't tell.

"The Bedroom" by Pieter de Hooch, oil on canvas medium, 1658/1660. This painting was my ekphrase painting and I am viewing it as a creative blog because I think it is a great representation of a asymmetrical painting. This painting shows a strong use of pale, cool colors.
