Hi Todd - love this colour scheme very much and the mood it creates. Seems to fit perfectly into a season which is so low of light. Btw - the frame is a wonderful compliment to this painting. You could not have chosen a better one... Merry Christmas to you and your family, greetings, Petra
Nice to log on and see your compliments. Thank you. Nina, you seem to have a gift for naming some of my paintings..I love it! regarding the mention of the frame by Petra..I ordered three different frame styles I like to have in my studio just to test them out to see what looks best..a practice I borrowed from an artist friend..what a difference the variety option makes. thanks for noticing Petra, I recommend this to all artist..even if you get a sample corner from a framer, it makes all the difference. Happy Holidays to you all. Best, Todd
A subtle but luminous light in this one, Todd. And that sense of "something about to happen" that somehow permeates all your work. Great job--Merry Christmas!
Thank you all for the nice words...Jeffrey, your Bonita effect comments mademe smile..All the best to you all this holiday..looking forward to sharing and seeing your art work in 2009.

Wow... this one really grabbed my attention. I love it mono-tonal color scheme! great job.
Wonderfully done. Could it also be
titled, 'At the end of it's rope?" which is the way it feels.
I like "Down East" a lot!
