​This painting does not have  signature or date. But, we believe it is certainly a Sydna creation.  It matches a similar brush style, reflected in other Sydna landscapes. And, elements of this painting's color palette are cimilar to Sydna's 1971 Sleepy Fishing Village.  Although we're slowly becoming experts on Sydna's artistic evolution, we accept this as a Synda landscape. - especially with its warm, muted tones, sunrise/sunset scene, and inclusion of water.

I am a little fascinated with the ambiguous emotions this painting draws.  The choice of an olive-type color, featured in the piece's lowlights, invites peaceful feelings.  Continuing to view the painting, I get no sense if it is set in a warm or cool climate.  Is it winter or summer?  Morning or evening? Humid or slightly dry? Desolate or lush topography?  In one moment, I visualize the rocks covered with algae.  And, in the next moment, everything appears desolate - including the larger land mass in the upper-right section.  So, in this respect, I find myself in a purgatory-type of reaction - neither loving nor hating it. But, I do notice when I look at it, I stay for a number of minutes.  I engage with the painting in a continuous attempt to determine if the piece is speaking to me or if I'm trying to give the painting meaning based on my personal emotional state at the time.
