- This painting is titled The Conversation which was created by Canadian painter Andrew Salgado in 2012.
- The painting’s dimensions are 70.9 x 66.9 inches which is roughly the same size as 4A0.
- The medium of which it is in is oil paints on canvas and I believe it was created using palette knives and possibly flat brushes, which really gives an interesting block effect.
- The colours in this piece to me suggest some kind of sadness and a feeling of being trapped as the blues almost seem to smother the subject and there is a sense of being lost.

This piece inspired me to use a simpler colour palette and try out flat brush techniques (although I believe it was created with palette knives) it would still give the same effect.
