About Journey No 19

A grey-earth tinted boat shape trailed by a dark triangular shape on a atmospheric ground of cool white pierces a band of brown and black in this square acrylic painting. The painting may be interpreted as a landscape with horizon line or topographically, seen from above, or as a non-figurative work depicting a dynamic journey up the picture plane.
