Fine work, Todd. This painting is almost hypnotic--great serenity and a sense of expectancy...something is about to happen. You have a great way of implying things going on beyond the picture plane.
Don and Deboarah, thanks to you both, sincerely. The "implied narrative" references you both make are likely rooted in my affection for the story-telling elements often found in illustration. I dig pictures that suggest a little something more. It makes my cerebellum tingle.

Beautiful treatment of the water and I have to agree with Don- an incomplete narrative that leaves you wanting more.

love the feeling of solitude in this piece.
Thanks Holly, I was feeling very calm when I painted it.
