A formal analysis of Carolyn Rosenberger’s work "Forgotten Fence," exhibited in the 69th annual juried art show at the Neville Public Museum. "Forgotten Fence" is a watercolor painting on rice paper covered clay board. The piece is conceptually pieced together depicting eerie like trees and a rickety old fence on a hill using a washed out mute color scheme. Rosenberger’s composition is strategically pieced together using the formal elements line, color, shape, space, and texture to give her work an overall gentle but cold feeling. To start off lines plays a subtle role in the composition and are rather faint to the viewer, giving the painting its initial washed out feeling as if you were in a haze looking upon the scenery. Lines within the composition can be found forming the horizon line and the boundaries of the trees and fence. The lines throughout the composition are mainly soft, shallow curvilinear, which defines what we first see as a landscape in a natural setting. As well, such use of lines draw our eyes towards the mid-section of the image, where the line use implies continuation of the landscape beyond the picture plane. However, line in this piece does not necessarily play an important nor a dominate role in the overall feeling of the composition. Color is another formal element used within Rosenberger’s painting. The colors are mainly washed out and muted. However, the way she uses the color scheme strongly defines space and unity within the composition. From her dark browns and oranges to her faint blues and yellows, Rosenberg successfully created a mood for the painting. For instance, the dark values ranges in the piece create a sense of mystery and help bring out the feeling with in the setting as being a forgotten place. However, the way she uses the lighter values brings out the intensity of the painting itself, which gives the composition a gentle and welcoming feel despite its ominous appearance. Shape is used to create the main setting of this painting, giving it its landscape quality. The shape ranges within the composition ran
