The title totally fits, a small boat in the middle of nowhere just floating up in front of you and the moment you get on it rows itself into Glob know's where. Goodness this title and art just triggers my imagination, I love it.

I suppose, it's only fair. Your work like many other talented artisans work are always amazing to see.

For ProjectComment !
Since many other helpful deviants have commented, I will almost exclusively address the title. I don't believe your title fits, for numerous reasons (one being it's not capitalized and I don't know why it's not ). First, your colors are more ominous than welcoming. This scene could easily be a horror landscape. Everything is closed in this drawing. The boat is tied to the shore, and facing inward away from the water. It is not ready to go on an adventure. The oars have retreated inside and are farthest away from a the viewer. The sky is cloudy and blocked, and the bay's end is easily visible from our side. Had the sky been clear, the water stretching to the horizon and the boat facing out toward the water, ready to embark at a moment's notice, the mood would be appropriate. But here, I see a tired old vessel, lulling in the water as the quiet tides lap against its sides. The owner must've thought it was not a good day to go out, on account of the weather.
However, your technical skill is superb! I'm not quite sure why the water turns into a blob halfway out, but I'm absolutely in love with the way everything else looks, and for what you've set up and the way it works together I think you've done very well. However, that title does not match the impact this has on me whatsoever, and I think you should change it.
I seriously love just looking at this .

Does it? I see the water getting darker, then hidden under mist.

Mist? I suppose it could be mist, although it does not come across to me that way for some reason.

Probably because of the smooth line across the top of the mist and a narrow band of dark water, followed by what appears to be more mist. The mist is not perfectly done, but because it is in the background, any flaws are not obvious since the viewer's gaze is drawn to the highly-detailed boat in the foreground. I understand your concern that the mist seems a little off, but I do not think it detracts from the overall quality, simply because being in the background gives it little prominence.

I love the proportions and the shades! Very good use of the color tones and think it fit properly with the landscape and the concept. The reflect in the water, in my personal opinion can be more wavy and incorporate more fading effect so it can look more like water and avoid the mirror effect. For example the reflection at the very far away part I think is just brilliant! At the left part of the reflection I noticed that there's more wood logs than the actual ones in the boat. Overall I think is a very nice representation of you want to express based on the tittle.

Heya^^
Another lovely piece. This thime, the dark colours actually make it look more alluring, like something of a dare combined with the title. I like the shade of brown for this a lot! And its simplicity, both in choice of motive and with the different shades of one colour, make it wonderfully atmospheric. The water is pretty well done, except maybe for the fact that the boat seems to be a bit high on it. The reflection looks great! The grass where the rope leads to makes for an interesting contrast in that it is almost black, but it does sort of make me wonder where exactly the boat is tied to. The fading in the background looks pretty solid to me. Looks like the boat is just lying there, waiting, and I like how the emptiness makes it look all the more inviting.
Great job there!

Auch wieder wahr^^
Nah, ich bleibe beim Gedichteschreiben und hin und wieder nem gestrickten Foxpond. Darin bin ich tatsächlich recht gut^^

Dankesehr!
Heimatverlust, hmm? Ist das einfachste da nicht, sich vielleicht einen Flüchtling auszudenken und seine/ihre Geschichte zu erzählen? Vertrieben, verraten, verjagt, geflohen, und dann in eine fremden Land, wo man am besten die Sprache noch gar nicht kennt, alles in der Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben. Und wenn man dann Pech hat, gerät man an Fremdenfeindliche.
Ansonsten funktionieren persönliche Erfahrungen (Umzug, evtl. Auswanderung) auch ganz gut.

Achso. Hmm, gibt es denn eine Form, die dich besonders anspricht? Ansonsten ist es am leichtesten, wenn man sich an die bekannten hält. Sonnett, Haiku, Elfchen...
Und wenn du Probleme beim Reimen an sich hast, hilft immer ein Synonymewörterbuch. Oder man kann auch einfach nach Wörtern googlen, die sich auf etwas bestimmtes reimen.

An anchor? A stack driven into the river or lake bed?

Possibly. I think I was just expecting something that was visible. Dunno why...

Hello, I'm from
What a simple, yet beautiful piece you have drawn here. I love how you drew the boat, you did an excellent job on the perspective on the boat. The reflection is also drawn wonderfully too. You did a wonderful job on the monochromatic colour scheme, it really works. The tide also feels very calm and relaxing as the breeze gently blows by.
The shading is also done very nicely, it feels very natural, none of the shadows feel like there out of place. The grass as well, doesn't feel forced. The whole picture feels very natural.
Wonderful job! Keep up the good work!

I don't know if it fits, I feel it more like an exploration or a ride. But that could be just me and adventure sounds alot grander to me.

That's I've chosen it over exploration, because I also thought that it sounded grander^^

Understandable. I have had an exploration adventure through Mount royal this one time. I think they go hand in hand, you explore things things while on an adventure and both have connections to discovery.

I think the title does fit. It's like the boat is beckoning you to hop in and sail off to a new, far-off place.

I love that reflection, as well as how you showed the water's movement. But let's talk about that boat because it looks lovely. I'd love to hop onto it and at least go to the other end of the water.
