This is very nice. Beautifully done, the colours are amazing and realistic looking. You must watch alot of waves to get it right like you did here lol. Good detail on the action of it, it looks so real I can hear it. Very nice piece

Nice use of colour. The brush strokes give the wave a sense of movement and strength. Great use of space and a well told story. Well done.

You are very talented. I love the texture I can see in the painting. I feel the power of the water and would not want to be under one. The blues a beautiful as well. I love to cruise and there really is that color of water out there away from shore. Excellent.

What a robust and energetic brush work!. I like that impasto touch! You have wonderfully shown the nuances of colours when the light hits the swelling waves.Lovely painting! Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Ronnie McClune


Beauitful work Susanne. I too live by the sea with the waves crashing thirty meters from my front door. I can appreciate how difficult it is to capture that movement and power. You have certainly achieved it with this work. Colouring, lines foam are all excellent. The movement is so realistic I can almost hear it, great work and well done - Ronnie

I have always lived near the ocean my whole life. In NJ and now here in Florida. The beach is less than 3 miles from my home and the nearest wetlands is 12 miles.
Suzanne, this is a beauty! Love the colors the white foam and the amazing textures.
The wave just about to break and reach the shore line is superb.
Fine work!

As a lover of the ocean and deep sea fishing, I love this painting because it brings back beautiful memories. This is an excellent portrayal of crashing waves and the building power of the water behind it. Excellent!
