I find the brush work in Endurance to be much more complex and beautiful while undoubtedly employing similar techniques it just seems softer and more grand. I get a better sense of depth and expanse here. The colours perhaps bias my opinion since I love deep hues of blue and relate the depth and expanse of space to the ocean. The stunning contrast of the red/orange hues give the piece a greater story. Stark contrasts like that are unbelievably gorgeous, and you've excelled here.
I try to paint on occasion, but no where near as talented as this. I will try my best though!. I look forward to seeing more from you too!.
It's not so much the subject matter as it is your astonishing use of colours, your efforts are emotionally vibrant and visually breath-taking. Great range dude. inspiring gallery.
