Comments: The forceful momentum of 'The Separation of Land and Water',seemms to come right out of the painting.God's arms are spread straight out,as though propelling him ahead.It shows a strong, determined GOD,totally intent on his Herculean feat.
There is the ever-present cloak behind,and around him,seeming to envelope GOD,and his angel assistants.This work exudes power and purpose.
An added comment:I have discovered this site only recently.I am surprised,that relatively few viewers,have expressed an opinion on these wonderful art-works.On this site,we have a sounding board,from which to air our views,and reactions.I consider this a privilege.I wish more viewers would take a few minutes,to share their thoughts and feelings on these glorious sculptures and paintings.Spread the good word!
