How you can capture the ripples in the water, the reflections and keep it all so "clean" is a mystery to me! Ok...guess it's called "talent"! Anyway...bravo! Great job!<br /><br />Thanks for including the Goldsworthy clip!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123711998908894938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183610651867409486.post-87901724347973780672009-11-18T22:50:30.691-05:002009-11-18T22:50:30.691-05:00WOW!

The rust on the boat look great. <br />If I have the time I will paint some boats at Peggys Point.<br />PhilPhillip Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782627264400015146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183610651867409486.post-72483503803486044332009-11-10T13:33:27.953-05:002009-11-10T13:33:27.953-05:00Gary, I am in awe of your talent.

And the colours are rich yet muted too. They 'fit'. <br /><br />I was born in Halifax and of course live just 'down the road' now :) in Newfoundland so this scene is very familiar. This is indeed Chester.<br /><br />I shall be revisiting Halifax and surrounds again to see what treasures I can unearth there too.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183610651867409486.post-21415673798777900712009-11-09T11:23:06.850-05:002009-11-09T11:23:06.850-05:00Rich color to your painting.

I'm a great fan of his work - it's so emotive - maybe because it's transient.

I really love your colours on this one.<br /><br />I have never been to Nova Scotia, but it is on my list. As a Canadian, I must see the other coast!
