The Canal

It is a sunny summer day (yellow undertones). You are traveling a canal on a boat. It is Sunday family excursion (a check mark at lower left middle). Blue skies (blue rectangle on the right). The water is murky blue(the blue figure on the left). The canal is old : here and there you can see the marks of age and decay(the brown figure in the low right, the black figure on the upper left). From time to time you are catching yourself thinking about work, Monday, what you have to do in the office(the blueish white area in the upper right and all elements in it: brown square, black lines).

Paul Gauguin

Brittany Landscape The David Mill, 1894

 A man has a house to live in , a business to take care of. But he is dreaming(The mill on the left half). He is dreaming of moving to another place, doing something different(The remote house in the middle). Or he is even dreaming of  something that he does not know exactly what it is or where it is(the remote forest and the cloud in upper right corner). This last dream is most appealing. The man always seeks new experiences. He always dreams of something new. What keeps him from doing dangerous and maybe stupid steps toward his dreams are common sense(the tree in the center) and his family (figures in the lower middle).
