The gear boat

My husband recently went on a philosopher's down river raft trip on the Rangitikei River. This is my son in law negotiating the gear boat.

Comment by Ann Turner on April 6, 2014 at 7:23: Great use of dark and light values to create drama and show movement

Comment by Robin Sage on April 6, 2014 at 7:09: Thank you Jessica, Linda, Colleen, Michael and Cristina for those kind comments! It is good to be painting again and to feel all your encouragement and friendship is such a bonus. Sorry Michael- I think I got the dimensions round the wrong way again! My memory is not so great these days! We are experiencing the changing colours of Autumn and some beautiful light here in New Zealand so am hoping to get out to capture it.

Comment by Cristina Mihailescu on April 6, 2014 at 4:51: Great movement of the water, a wonderful painting very well done!!!

Comment by Michael J. Severin on April 6, 2014 at 2:45: Great painting Robin.

Comment by Colleen McCafferty on April 5, 2014 at 22:49: Excellent job Robin. I particularly love the turbulent water. A real action painting and so well done!

Comment by Linda McNeill on April 5, 2014 at 19:36: Lovely, Robin, love the boat.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on April 5, 2014 at 19:32: Wow - you've really captured the sense of adventure here, Robin - those rocks & the white water look daunting! Congratulations to your son-in-law!

Comment by Brian Sage on April 5, 2014 at 16:50: Yes he kept the gear dry and didn't break any wine bottles! It's easier to be a philosopher if there is plenty of wine. We solved all the world's problems in four days!
