This painting that has all the white is transcendental because it is a very simple painting that i feel represents simple living. It's not too flashy and it gets the message across while being minimalistic. From this balance of white and dark colors I learn that balance is the most important thing when it comes to me. I learned that I need to keep a balance so I don't give one thing too much attention. When it comes to sensory details it looks like it would be very very cold.

“I have heard of a man lost in the woods and dying of famine and exhaustion at the foot of a tree, whose loneliness was relieved by the grotesque visions with which, owing to bodily weakness, his diseased imagination surrounded him, and which he believed to be real. So also, owing to bodily and mental health and strength, we may be continually cheered by a like but more normal and natural society, and come to know that we are never alone.” ― Henry David Thoreau

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.  Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”— Henry David Thoreau, Walden

This painting shows my personal nature because it is showing both the dark and bright sides. I try to be positive most of the time but sometimes I can be negative. The fact that this painting is depicting nature makes it transcendental.

This quote right here to the right is transcendental because it demonstrates self-reliance, which is one of the tenets of transcendentalism.

The quote also shows how the people who are marching to the beat of a different drummer are showing individualism.

In Chamber of Reflection, Mac DeMarco describes finding a clearer outlook after being alone. This is expressed with the tone of the song. It isn't a sad song but sounds optimistic, this message is conveyed when he says, "'Understand that when you leave here you'll be clear." That being alone isn't a bad thing when he says, "Spend some time away getting ready for the day you're born again."
The chorus of the song is Mac DeMarco saying, "Alone again" over and over , this demonstrates the self-reliance tenet of transcendentalism because while he is reflecting on past experiences and he is learning from them as well.
