The orange of the overalls and the blue of the water makes for an visually rich focal point.

I do love these paintings. Your vantage point (or the viewers vantage point) is a wonderful decision on your part. Also, in my first comment I wanted to mention the calm darkness but I was afraid it would sound negative - but I mean it exactly the opposite - there is a peacefulness in the depth of your colors. Great work.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577206872187236746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142554.post-57214750190344052892007-07-17T06:23:00.000-07:002007-07-17T06:23:00.000-07:00These two paintings are fantastic Todd.

I especially like "To the Mother Ship"--maybe because I've always thought standing while sculling a dinghy was cool. Great light too.
