Ship shape in an Oakland marina

“When values are allowed plenty of white to circulate, the subject is lost and found everywhere. A reciprocity of object and space is created and the distinction between them is minimized” – master watercolorist Frank Webb

Everything has its own special inner character … but at the same time there is no place where there is emptiness, where one object does not flow into another. The Three Pillars of Zen

I kind of like the messy situation combined with the painterly effect, Wayne!

Thanks, Pierre. You hit on the essence of this image.  Circulating so much white allows the mind to choose how it intermingles objects and space and feels order or disorder. Sometimes hues dominate the composition.  Sometimes verticals, horizontals, diagonals or shapes dominate.  The state of consciousness at the time of viewing decides.
