Another beautiful painting that draws you in to the story. Colors are beautiful, it evokes a feeling of peace in a fantasy land. I could look at this for hours.

Totally a non cruise person myself, 6 weeks on a boat coming to Australia in 1958 as a child was enough for me LOL - good blend of colors to create the scenic view from the cruise and another interesting artwork to view. :)

    Mary, thank you for this fine review. Sorry to hear you had to experience that. I love the water and I respect it. To me this was a small boat ride through a magical area. I am glad you found it interesting. Ray

Sailing - the song by Christopher Cross immediately popped into my head Ray! I can see sails and a tall mast as your ship sails across the beautiful abstract ocean. Well done, thanks for sharing!

Another gorgeous piece by a strong and wonderful artist. Love all the colours and seeing everyone enjoying cruising on the water. This brings back my memories before Covid where hubby and I would cruise Buckhorn Lake every single day at out little mobile park home. After we moved, we got a small all year round house but it's not by water so we sold the boat. But I still have the memories.

Thanks for sharing.

I just had a look at MKFlood's video presenting your work, and after seeing it I realized even more what a great artist you are. What is also special about you is that you have your own special style.

This abstract is fully showing this, and I especially like the contrast between dark and light. Just like it is during a whole day. Needless to say that it is great textures to be seen in this painting.

The format and framing is very good, and it is a fine flow and balance in the composition. Lovely work again Ray.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of people sailing through a jungle landscape. Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely painted!
