When most people think of a holiday, they think of a time of joy and happiness. But, this painting with its low level of color saturation creates a very different impression. There is no sunlight along the horizon. On the lake, empty boats create a feeling of loneliness. The arrangement of the scene and margins form an oblique cross formation. The use of colors and the composition are highly unique. The title Holiday piques the curiosity, as it seems to be in stark contrast to the mood. Is this a subjective presentation of the artist's emotions or a misunderstanding of sorts? This question draws viewers into this watercolor world.
