Interpretation Relationship: The flow of the instruments and the title relate because it flows like the ocean. First areas notice: The Cello and how it flows and the 3 canvases. Story: the story is the symphony it creates, literally and figuratively. Feeling: It makes warm because of the color contrast.

Evaluation I like all the contrast on the 3 canvases. I think the artist was mildly successful because of the prices of her other art compared to this art work. I really enjoyed the idea of the 3 canvases and the way she painted all the pictures on them.
