I'm enjoying the gallery blog--glad you put it up. Have a very Merry Christmas!<BR/><BR/>-Chris: Thanks for the comment!<BR/><BR/>-Chas: Yes, I think you've hit on the essence of the painting. :) I myself favored an approach of chromatic nuance and the intention of metaphoric symbolism, but eschewed the notion of a turtle in the corner... :) Have a great Christmas!Steve Penberthyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16584075819088321851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34350769.post-72908477224843459612008-12-20T21:08:00.000-06:002008-12-20T21:08:00.000-06:00Almost as good as being on the River! It's gonna look great in Greg's Office. A really nice painting Steve!<BR/><BR/>It reminds me of Monet's lesser known work during his years in Doolittle (before he went to Giverney). I believe that was when he bartended at the Mineshaft to earn money for paint. I'm guessing the painting represents man's inner struggle to understand our vulnerabilities in the face of the powerful forces of nature (ie the River) - either that or it's just a really cool painting!Chas.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34350769.post-8549194881086371702008-12-20T15:18:00.000-06:002008-12-20T15:18:00.000-06:00Lovely painting!Chrishttp://blog.weborglodge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34350769.post-3771289727716768932008-12-19T17:18:00.000-06:002008-12-19T17:18:00.000-06:00Steve!
