Hi Rob,

First of all, I am very impressed with how you're stretching yourself - first the nudes, then the landscapes, then the clouds, then the nudes in the landscapes with clouds... . They feel mysterious and provocative. You are really expanding as an artist, not just in technique but in concept.

Nudes can have so many meanings in a painting. Did you have a reason for painting her nude instead of clothed?

I've looked at this one for five minutes now and I still can't describe how I feel about this painting, which means that I probably ought to come back later and give it another try. It's a haunting visual, quite edgy, and almost gothic. The image that popped into my mind when I first saw this was the final shot in the movie "Deliverance", though you're probably too young to have seen it.

Can you explain the title for us? Can you explain why she's on top of the water? Are we seeing her in moonlight? Are you trying for a convex effect in the sky? Am I asking too many questions, especially since you posted in the Unveilings section?
