Love the way you represent movement in the water in this magical composition. Your limited use of colour is stunning in the depth you have created for this work. Detail all over makes viewing a pleasure.

Hi,

Nice interpretation, there's a lot of movement in this well rendered painting.

It's a shame the camera picks up the texture of the canvas.

That last bit was because the review was too short. Sorry!

Regards

Stu

Wonderful how you let the canvas show through. I like the foreground sand having lots of colour..Just wonder if the very top of clouds could be broken up a bit to repeat the foreground. The ocean is moving very well and the waves are very well done with a natural feeling..When i take away the band of dark water away above the waves the work flows better maybe break it up a bit too. I like the soft light coming through the whole painting.You have a lovely sense of movement here.

This is a lovely painting of the sea! You have captured the sunlight glistening on the surface and the patterns o waves and clouds. Your pastel colors are stunning.

You use the most lovely colors to portray these beaches. The pastels are so pretty and portray the sands and water so beautifully. Great art.

You have wonderful use of color. They are soft yet brilliant at the same time. You did a wonderful job with the waves and capturing all the colors on the sand. Lovely!

There are white specks (not foam, I suppose) over much of the canvas. The colors are lovely, grading from violet to deep blue.

    Thank you for your comments. It was the camera flash that caused the specks.

I like the cool colors of the sky, water and the beach. You did a nice job with the sand and the ebbing of the tide. I also like that you can't really tell from this what time of day it is.
