WRITING BOOSTER
Exercise A

I have been to museums in countries all over the

world, but my favorite painting is in a museum close

to my home. I am a real fan of The Master’s Bedroom by

Andrew Wyeth because I find it very peaceful. Andrew

Wyeth died in 2009 at the age of 91. The painting

shows a dog curled up on a bed, taking an afternoon

nap. Sunlight is coming in through the window and

warming the dog. The painting makes me feel relaxed

because the dog and the bed look so comfortable. The

bedroom is very simple and the colors in the painting

are soft and neutral, making the scene seem really

calm. Wyeth’s most famous painting is Christina’s

World, which is at the Museum of Modern Art in New

York City.
