Description I realized something lately regarding art on one of the polls of deviant art. "No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist." -Oscar Wilde. Most of the time drawing I felt like I was focusing on a precise representation of what I was seeing. Frustrating to get the exact shading or color. With the above quote I remembered where the focus should be. There is not so much importance to draw something if you just copy what you see. It's a lot better to have a vision, offer to the viewer an image coming always from how you feel. Therefore I regard this painting as a step further from my previews attempts on landscape.

The pinkish spots in the water stand out too much and they don't blend very well and make it look a little strange, but other than that I really love this! The sky and the reflection of the star is amazing! Great job!

I think the greatest thing about art is seeing something we see every day through the eyes of another person. That being said I really love this it's truly beautiful.

I really love this! I think my favourite part might be that the stars are so much brighter on the water than in the sky and I love the sky too! is that a falling star?

Gevio In reply to instantanarchY [2011-11-08 12:21:53 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you like it my intention was to get the focus on the water and how we could approach the stars from another perspective, experiencing their light as it is reflected by the sea sometimes watching the water with that light trembling on the waves I get the feeling that the sea might actually have more stars I see the source of light in the sky as a moon flying around like a kite but it could be to another person a falling star!)hehe
