Description
We're inside a small, dark walled room, looking out on a body of water with a small, rock island on which there's a rocking chair. Over on the right, there's a suitcase and above it, hanging from a rack are a suit jacket along with a bowler hat. There are two windows, both revealing a look at the water. Inside, it feels almost claustrophobic, even while looking out on the water just beyond. In front of one window, there's a ladder.
What could this all mean? Did the owner of the bowler hat and suit jacket climb out the window and try and swim out to the small rock island to have a seat on the rocking chair? Where could he be?
This painting is meant to be somewhat of a mystery. It's dark tones add to the drama. This is a far darker color palette than my normal works and proved to be quite the challenge to paint as even the right side wall contains about nine different colors, not all of which are recognizable. I'll be intrigued to see what people have to say about this one!

Congratulations on your win, Thomas. This is a great mystery. I love the sense of doom and dispair and yet...??? What does it mean? Nicely done. f/l
Thomas Blood replied:
Thank you, AnnaJo! I try and create story appeal with all of my paintings. You are correct in that this one is a bit on the dark side, at least on the inside of the cramped room. Generally, I try and be a bit more optimistic and playful with my work which I think you'll see if you visit any of my other paintings. Most of all, I thank you for taking the time to comment. It is truly appreciated!

Thanks to everyone for the congratulatory messages! This painting will be on display at my upcoming solo show along with more than 25 other recent works so it was nice to get a rare winner in one of these contests!
