Sunset by a River

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella, and I'm so excited to explore this beautiful painting with you today! It's called "Sunset by a River," and it was painted by a very talented artist named Charles-François Daubigny. nn Have you ever seen a sunset in real life? What colors do you remember seeing in the sky? nn Look closely at this painting. What colors did the artist use to paint the sunset? That's right, lots of orange and yellow! Can you see tiny bits of blue peeking through the clouds? These colors make the sunset look so real, don't they? nn Now, let's pretend we're taking a walk by this river. Can you see how the water reflects the colors of the sunset? And look at the trees along the riverbank. Some still have leaves, but some are bare. Why do you think that is? That's right, it's because fall is coming, and the leaves are changing color and falling off the trees. nn See that person standing by the river? What do you think they're looking at? Maybe they're enjoying the peacefulness of the sunset, just like us! nn This painting is like a window into a peaceful and beautiful moment. The artist wanted us to feel calm and happy when we look at it. nn What do you like most about this painting?
