This a wonderful, moody painting. Like you other works, it hovers (like the glider plane) somewhere between abstraction and realism. Holland is lucky to have such an attentive artist.
Artist Reply: what a great comment David! thanks for these words!
wow you were soaring at some amazing heights .. how does it feel to be free ... to soar the endless skies .. to look down upon the endless land .. i bet it feels so liberated .. ahhhh i really wish i could be with you in that glider .. THIS IS AN AWESOME PAINTING
OUTSTANDING! I took a photograph of my plane ride home from Nova Scotia to Manitoba, high above, in the clouds.. your painting reminds me of this.. LOVE how you have captured the clouds and the land and ocean below! Your use of colours and technical skill with brushes is masterful! Bravo!! :o)
My goodness Nelly... zo allemachtig sfeervol... I love how you worked the dark blue in (Prussian Blue I presume?) Of course that touch of yellow gives this view the finishing touch. You're a great inspiration! MY PIC OF THE DAY of course!! Liefs, OLGA
Has an over the horizon outspace perspective from this distance,like the emphasis you placed into showing civilization concetrated yet spread out in the foreground. Great eye for detail in all the right places.
