A beautiful painting. Love the brush strokes. so much energy in them. You have captured the energy of the sea very well. Lovely use of colour as well

This is lovely. I especially like the light on the horizon and the lovely soft colours in the sky and the sea, contrasted against the harsher rocks. The lifeboat adds a sense of perspective. Beautifully executed.

Lovely painting. Your colors are wonderful, you managed to give it a three dimensional feel. I really like your very pronounced foreground bringing the eye directly to the horizon line and the clouds. Nice work.

Wow! Very beautiful. Great use of texture and movement in this piece. I really like the boat in the background and it seems very proportionate with everything in the piece. The only thing that I didn't like is that the ocean seems a bit too white to me and doesn't create too much contrast or detail in the painting. Overall, great job and thank you for spending so much time on this because I know these things take a while :)

    Thank you for your review. Not quite sure what you mean by the sea being white. Our North Sea is mostly grey in colour and it was very choppy with white caps.

This is lovely and well painted. I especially love the way you did the waves hitting against the rocks. I havent been there for years but appreciate the reminder of this lovely place. Thank you for sharing this wonderful art work that you painted.

This is an awesome painting the way you have done it. The detail in the rocks, the way you put the lifeboat in, the ay the water looks, the way you have done the action in the waves, the way you did the sky and the clouds, the way you have the sun coming up, the way you blended the colors, the way you created depth are all excellent. A beautiful painting.

1. The painting carries an enormous impact.
2. Its a painting with versatile strokes and colors with each element, the sky, the waters, the boat and the land all separately and in combination express the return home of the lifeboat.
3. Its like as if one can feel the hour and hear the waves.
5. To me its simply a flawless piece of art with its story told to the brim.
