Wow! The subjects really look realistic with its meticulous "rubbery skin glistening in the sun" rendition...
The lightweight strokes are so fluid that it appears easier seen than done!
The backdrop is well rendered in light
Brush application technique.
Thanks for sharing.
Good luck, Suzanne!

Love this Suzanne! Beautiful soft creatures that they are.
I have a photo of dolphins at play in my file waiting to be painted when I embark on more seascapes so I sat up and noticed this immediately it was posted.
Am busy organizing my first art show so my reviewing has taken a back seat but wanted to get this one before it disappeared.
It's just lovely, full of life, joy and natural beauty in all elements.
I love the simplicity of your watercolor rendering and the pretty blue color blending is so calming and appealing to the senses.
Gorgeous picture! Beautifully painted!

What a lovely creation you have here. The dolphins are a great focal point and they are beautifully done. I like the shadowing in the water. Great job!!

Comment from FBI GUY


The scene is great and full of action. Having the two dolphins jumping with different poses is very cleaver and gives the feeling of powerful movement. The reflections on the surface of the water is very effective.The blue tones dominate the scene and definitely does it true justice as it gives the feeling of the water without adding more physical emphasis on the water.

Great artistic piece. You captured the essence of their jumps. Very nice effects of the water drops and shadows, and clouds. Excellent job of portraying a fun, happy, experience.

Comment from John House


Good story line ,the picture is well balanced and constructed the shadowing on the sea is well portrayed the fact that you have left the edges of the work white adds to the portrayal of the subject matter that is well executed showing a good degree of skill my only objection to this receiving six stars is that I feel the left hand dolphin could have done with some lighter shading under the head to bring out the face more and the reflected light from the sea otherwise it is a fine well balanced work

Comment from Kbanich


Wow Suzanne - you are so talented. I can't even image what this would look like if I tried. LOL

The detail is nicely captured in both the water spray as well as the dolphins. Your use with shadows and highlights is skillful and sets the stage for definition and detail in the bodies. Nice work - Thumbs up.
