You’ve given it such a misty quality and quiet stillness that the first impression is of colors jumping off the canvas almost before your eye knows what it’s looking at. The water looks like it has a blanket of condensed mist rising as the coolness reacts to the the morning Sun. This gives the impression of activity and depth, yet it looks and feels serene, making the viewer wish they could be there, experiencing the peace of nature.
The way you layer the colors gives a feeling of depth and captures the complexity of the landscape. I like the intensity of the colors very much. They play very well off each other. It’s beautiful in every way.
My physical problem is from tendonitis all over my body so it’s also something I’ve been thinking about in choosing a different way to approach my art. I too have trouble standing for any length of time, so I’ve been doing more drawing where I sit. I can go into my right brain much more easily when I’m not feeling pain and discomfort. It’s sad because I’ve always loved painting on large canvases while standing. But then I remember how Matisse was forced to stop painting on very large canvasses and he started to work on his paper cutouts. The artist will always find a way.
