All Roads Lead to the Sea
40" x 40" - oil on canvas
“It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist; the threat is rather to life itself.”
― Rachel Carson, The Sea Around Us

Beautiful. I admit, I zoomed in on the boat because I had to see all those gorgeous colors you laid down to read "white" in the painting. You have quite a variety of colors in there, cool and warm.
Thanks Rhonda. I love how much colour can be added to a piece and it still read "white". I tend to put in colours that are found elsewhere in the painting to try to harmonize the whole piece.
I find that any colour will work as long as it is the correct value. I also throw in a few specks of complementary or sometimes completely contrasting, colours for interest.
haven't read that book, but great quote :)
I'm not sure if its still in print, it was published initially in 1951 and was a best seller.
the uni library has a 2 copies, 1955 edition tho but they have it. they have a lot of books I would never had thought they would
Perfect. Perhaps you'll have a chance to look at it. Yes, universities have a lot of obscure and out of print books at times.
