Sea of Dreams

Oil on canvas.

source:my paintings



A dream far away

a boat sailing the seas

waves touching the shores

lonely sailor

waiting to come back home

a voice calling him

the voice of the sea

a dream coming to me

the wind sailing his dreams

like his father before him

when the sea is running wild

it was his destiny

a light lighting his path

a voice coming to me

the dream of the sea

in her green blue waters

singing his song

nothing is wrong

because he is strong

when he is free...

...sailing the sea.

This is up there with one of the best paintings ive seen of yours! Keep up the good work, my favorite all time still I think is that 'waltz' one. But this is great.

your best work yet, but one thing
your nudes are not very good, and the one in this painting is'nt either. it spoils the painting
why dont you paint something with no nudes?
i'll bet it'll be your best work to date
im not being nasty, just trying to advise

I dont mind the nude so much in this, my only critique would be regarding the color/tones of the sand and its lack of 'sandness'... other then that I think the painting is wonderful... the sky, the water, the ship and the lighthouse are quite superb.

Thank you very much ImaFungi,I still try give them a pattern of a kind of perfection ,although I am more interesting in the subject matter as symbolistic to put togheter the composition in a way expressing a feeling.

Thank you very much for your advice but I have this feeling inside my heart that a painting without a human presence is very cold,but I will try perfecting them.

Thank you again.

Hey, pi!
That one isn't too bad at all! I'm impressed with the sky, sea, rockscape, and the ship. The perspective is well done; the shadows of the vessel as well.

The composition is much better than your others that I've looked at. How long did this one take you?

And, how big is it?

Just to help you out

Perspective

That ship is out at sea and it's bigger than the lighthouse

Just saying my friend

Heya cody - yeah, I thought the ship seemed "too close" to shore, but the ship itself is well-done as far as the "angle" of the painting, the shadows, etc.

Just my thoughts but great to see you again

Cody

Certainly there must be a way......

To do what? Get rid of your "respected foes"?

How can we help you, pi?

In such a simple way....

"We" can leave my threads alone.

Holy cow! I COMPLIMENTED YOUR WORK!

ugh

It certainly won't repeat.

That is a great painting!

I noticed you almost always include a nude in them,
any particular reason why?

Not saying they are bad, just seems to be a running theme of yours so there must be a reason for it.

I am glad my friend that you like it.

The purpose of the human presence is to express a feeling along with the music and words.

But indeed I admit that this one was not very inspired,maybe because the size of the canvas is very small,for a human presence well sized,to express that feeling.

Very beautiful music by the way.

Ok, I think I understand your use of nudes much better.
Thank you for the explanation.

You should see what happens when I listen to Pantera and paint...lol

Maybe the next painting I will do to Fleetwood Mac. I once did, by was told it was terrible, even though I could see and feel the music in the painting.

I think I understand your angle on art much better now.
