            What a great idea for a painting. I can feel the wind tugging on the kite string. You nailed the water, too.

                This painting captures a sense of both space and time.
                The feeling of escape, of a story from that perfect day.
                or it could be a memory of a sad day, all alone with no one else to fly with them.
                paintings that don’t paint a single tale are often the best,
                it becomes a Rorschach Test for those viewing it,
                how they express their feelings might tell you more about them than the painting.

                This is easily your best painting so far. IMHO.

                and, yes, you nailed the water and the sky:thumbsup:

                Agree with greggo that this is your best one we’ve seen so far; all elements flow together as one. Great color and comp, too.

                    It’s a balmy day with no one about…perfect time to fly a kite! The horizontal format allows me to see him running down the beach and feeling the wind as it tugs the kite higher and higher! The sense of freedom in this is what I like the most!

                        This made me smile.

                            The minimal format really narrows down the focus to person flying the kite. Any unnecessary details would only take away from that. No matter how far away you get, the message stays clear as a bell!!!

                                Thanks all for taking the time to look and especially for the kind words:heart:

                                After working on this, I wasn’t sure if it was a hit or miss, I’m sure others go thru that too, so it’s nice to get feedback.

                                Thanks to the encouragement I got for the last piece I posted, I went back and did some more work on it -(the sky and kite) I think it’s “frame-worthy” now so I’m going to make one of my “special” floater frames for it.

                                The title is Launch… But the man looks like he´s going for Lunch :lol:

                                By the way… Very nicely done… Reminds me of the Danish Skagen Painters :clap: :heart:

                                        Thank guys, much appreciated

                                        Always wanted to “kite fight”. Seems like it would be fun.

                                        Kenneth, I wasn’t aware of the Skagen painters. Interesting group.
