You know I wasn't sure why I liked this painting so much then I read your description. It really does take me to another time that just feels right. Great job. Also I was the best frog catcher when I was young.

A good looking nature shot posted here! Looks like and sounds like water and it's contents have played a large role in your life. Your fine, too and appropriate composition gives us an enjoyable view of a pond-side memory. Colours and tones are good. Nicely painted!

Your semi- or total abstract, contemporary art here is lovely. The blues are so vivid, the small amounts of yellows, oranges also. Enjoyed your commentary.

Cool,Ray!
Having spent a lot of my time as a boy (and as an adult) around watery places I 'hear what you're saying' and I'm also enjoying this interesting and 'Fun ta' Look At' painting that you've presented us with!
It's a 'Good Show',my friend!

Wonderful painting of the pond that presents such intimate mood compare to the surfing or kayaking, yet both include water that has such cleansing power, physically and mentally.

The blue colors and the orange sunset peaking through are so nice to view with an excellent depth of focus in this beautiful water landscape.
Ray, thank you so much for sharing your artwork.

The colours in this are beautiful. I like the subtle oranges coming through the blue. You have created nice movement with the lines. I really love the water too, it is my favourite place to be, it is relaxing. You have represented that feeling well here. Thanks for sharing

Comment from alaskapat


There is so much to be seen here Ray, it's a beautiful combination of colors along with a fabulous show of the light and shadows to show this scene, I can even see a small cabin up on the left, there are trees and branches and the pond showing the reflections of the light and colors, I see a few large stones in the pond.
This is a wonderful memory too, it's awesome that you are able to express this in this piece.
Well rendered, beautifully presented!

A beautiful rendering of this gorgeous pond Ray! I love the colors and tones that set a magical feeling. The trees and their branches are nicely defined amid the abstract and make this a wonderful painting!
