1. The two artworks that made an impression on me were Naming Ceremony 

& Last Load for Winter. Both pieces of art made me think of two movies. 

The former made me think of Black Panther with all the colors and patterns

resembling many things in African culture. The latter made me think of the 

film Wonder Woman. There's a scene where the main characters are traveling

under a bridge on a steam boat. Also, living near NYC all my life, I bridge 

made me think of all the bridges back home.

2. The two works of art I feel a connection with are Spirt of the North Woods

and The Three Trees. Since I've moved to Buffalo, I've explored a lot of 

nature that I do not encounter back home. These paintings made me

think of all the woods I've traveled. The latter painting was the first 

painting I seen entering the gallery and I loved it from that moment.

3. Both paintings by Jonathan Rogers I would like to learn more about. 

My guess about it's meaning would be something spiritual but the details 

and the full meaning I am interested in more.
