Night

HAIKU
't Was deep deep of nights,
when I saw what I had seen;
thank you Light of Lights.

Ruben Peregrina:
"I think that Olga's art is like "the NY Yankies",
and the others are " the blue Rocks of Delaware!
Jeje, no comparison my friend.
That piece "The Night" is a beauty."



It flows like the wind at night @ the beach......
The horizon line is hard to determine, which gives this painting a moving quality,
like water on a moonless night.

This atmospheric, tranquil painting has a dramatic quality to the use of blacks and grays.
I only used monochrome shades of black with a little bit of blue nuances.
I challenged myself to stay away from the complementary color red.

Proudly hanging in my freshly painted living-room

There is a dramatic quality to the use of blacks and grays. The horizon line is hard to determine, which gives it a moving quality, like water on a moonless night.
