That's a powerful and beautiful image, Peter. Of course the dark arch catches the eye, as does the figure. But the sky and water are rendered just as exceptionally well. I agree that a hint of detail in the darks of a silhouette adds lots of interest.

Hi Lorell. When do you start your drive to Florida?

damar, daffodils are always so pleasing. We usually have a few appear somewhere in the yard by this time, but I'm not seeing any yet.

Hi Rich. I agree with you about blacks ruining a painting. When I was doing watercolors I never used black, preferring to mix my own darks from various complementary colors for more interesting and sometimes even luminous near-blacks.
