At first I thought it was a land covered in snow, not a seaside. Or is it snow actually? I`m no longer sure... I think that sand should be more yellowish, but other than that I like it very much.

    It was late afternoon so the sand had a bluish/purplish tinge. Thank you for your comments.

Beautiful! And oh so delicate. I can see the wonderful details. Nice composition focused on the main subject. The visual is very crisp and clear.

This is a beautiful seascape with gorgeous lighting, colors and detail. I like how the blades of grass in the right lower third lead you into the picture.

    Many thanks for your great review and rating. It is a lovely beach - you hardly ever see anyone else there. So glad you like it.

Yes you have captured the scene nicely but I feel that it might have been more towards late afternoon and evening. I would have only used the violet in the background and warmed up the foreground a bit more. Looking and the waves seems like it was a very windy day, the flora in the foreground seems to calm for a windy day. The shadows on the sand from the foreground flora has been captured very nicely.

    Thank you for your comments. I only painted what I saw. It was late afternoon and there was no wind but this is the Pacific and there are always rollers on this coast.

    I totally accept what you are telling me, I don't know the area at as I am from Australia.

at first when I saw this on a small photo, i though it was a sky, watched from a very high look out point. Love ho the colors blend, it has the soft touch of the wind and colors, very nice.

I really like the soft hues in this work. It is an image that you could put on the wall and appreciate time and again. You have captured the low light beautifully.

This is an extremely interesting painting with plenty of excellent detail. Colour and workmanship are also excellent. You have depicted every important nuance and the composition is very good indeed.
