I love the simplicity of this. It’s treated like a black and white but with blue which really works. The touch of color at the horizon is lovely. It has a soothing quality.
I love the dramatic feel of the change in time of day. The light is a Devine light; the light on the water speaks to me spiritually. It’s powerful with the darkness and the pure light in the middle.
I love this piece for very different reasons than the others; I love how powerfully portrayed an everyday subject is. It’s a small piece with a big feel. It has a serenity to it and is so balanced.
I feel a serenity and nostalgic feeling about this; it could have been done 100 years ago. Very well balanced, not overdone. The colors in the background have an heirloom quality.
