Analysis On Painting

 I did the Mona Lisa by Leonardo DaVinci.

       This picture doesn't have a lot of bright colors and it looks like Mona Lisa was cut and paste from somewhere else and put into the picture. But she still fits in with her surroundings because she looks kind of dull and so do the mountains and rivers and skies behind her. The only colors he actually uses are a very, very, dull yellow and green, and red. And of course black. The women herself looks like she could be a nun because she is not smiling a lot but looks like she wants to smile even more than that. And she is wearing all black and it looks like the clothes are really old and fit for one of the times where women couldn't express themselves.

Inferences:
       I think that Mona Lisa could be a servant girl in her time and she was really sad in life but then the smile that she has I think says that she is optimistic and thinks that things are going to get better than they are already are. But all of that is contradicted by the clothes that she has on because her clothes kind of look like silk or velvet. And I'm thinking that in her time servant girls didn't have velvet or silk. Barely even now.

Interpretations:
I looked at Gabriel's to answer this and I agree with him. I think the painting is trying to capture one moment of life that is really good and is saying to kind of enjoy that moment while it lasts. But it is a pretty weird surrounding to put it in, if he was trying to capture that moment.
