THis collection titled " Darkness and Light" is a collection that I myslef love. I love the contrast between dark and light values, colors, and the difference dark and light values mixed together help a contrast of images to look blended together. VIncent van Gogh distributes alot of these similar portraits using he dark and light to give meaning .Therefore, enjoy the darkness and the light becuasr wheres there dark there's always light somewhere.

The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in WInter, 1804 by Vincent Van Gogh is a terrific example of light and dark. The slightly contrast is seen through the tree branches. The depiction of life and death is still seen through this image. The tree and the branches which were once alive but now in distrought due to climate causing death or infertilization . The dark values are seen through the outline of the ground and the sides of the garden. While, the Light is more seen the through the sky.
