Every Thursday, as part of my personal “enriched environment” initiative, I post a piece of art, usually from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which recently released online some 400,000 high-resolution images of its collection. All artwork will show a sun (or sunlight) somewhere.
I won’t name the piece or the artist, but instead invite you to study the art and post a comment addressing one or more of these questions:
- What is going on in this picture?
- What do you see that makes you say that?
- What more can you find?
If you have another idea, run with it.

Ha, ha, ha. Funny picture.
First off, there are two trailer homes parked in the hot sun in what looks like a desert. The trailer on the left is still on wheels, I can see the wheels underneath it. The trailer on the right seems more attached to the ground. Although maybe it’s just got a skirt around the bottom so you can’t see the wheels.
It looks hot and barren. THE SUN IS OFF SCREEN AND TO THE LEFT. As we always seem to note.
The funny part is that there’s a TV antenna rising up over the trailer on the left, and a big fluffy cotton ball of a cloud directly above that.
One thing that makes me think this is not a terrific place to live is the lack of windows. The trailer on the right has two windows along the long side, but nothing at the end. The trailer in back has windows on the end, but just a tiny one in the middle, set up high. The lack of windows turns me off.
the lack of vegetation, save for the grass, which looks dry, hot and prickly, turns me off. The bright white sunshine reflecting off the trailers’ sides almost hurts my eyes.
I had an Easy Bake Oven like this as a child.
It may not be hot, the way the other commenters posted. It may be a cool early morning. Notice how the sunlight seems to be hitting the side of the trailers almost head on. The shadows of the horizontal bars on the windows are just slightly below the bars themselves. This indicates to me that the sun is still fairly low in the sky.
It certainly looks like it has the potential to be hot, though.
I remember I had an Easy-Bake Oven as a child. I had fun mixing the ingredients but nothing ever turned out right when I put it in the oven.
The blacktop in the bottom of the picture doesn’t look real. \The fact that it’s also diagonal sets up the picture for unreality over all. The darkest part of the picture is the shadow under the trailer on the left. The picture looks both peaceful and uncomfortable.
i ssEE THESE FLIMZY TRAILORS &AND iIT MAKES ME THINK; “rOACH mOTEL” !!!!
rEMEMBER THOSE ?????
