Iceberg adrift


This painting is from my own photograph. It depicts a broke away chunk from a much larger piece, and the tone of the water only. The Water tone is created from the shadow of the Iceberg.

  11. I really like this piece, Vic. I love the limited palette and the solid, crisp feel of the ice. I'm very much drawn to your style of painting, there's something a little Modernist about it somehow. It's simple but very evocative. I'm very much looking forward to popping back to see your progress. Have a lovely day!
