house by the railroad numbers 1 and 2

1. in house by the railroad hopper directs my attention to the design and structure of the house since he references it's build and characteristics many times. He also directs it to the emptiness of the sky as well as the railroad and earth. I might be wrong but i notice the house has no doors and a crazy amount of windows as if all it wants to do is look out and let no one in. As for it's relationship to it's surroundings it seems out of place because everything is so still and empty and this house is so complex and elegant. My eyes are mostly looking at the amount of windows Edward has taking to painting. The colors Edward chooses to use definitly set the mood and give the viewer a different sense of what Edward is trying to depict rather than if he were to use bright and more lively colors.

2. The emptiness of the sky, The tracks running into the distance, The akwardness of the house. He gives the house a personality by saying it feels akward and ashamed of itself and it's structure. I think it helped because it helper the viewer cement their opinion of the painting because it confirms what i believed he was trying to achieve with setting this beuatiful house in this depressing area. It makes it more interesting because i saw it at a different light rather than if i was just to look at the painting by itself with nothing to form an opinon with.
