Any fine piece! I really like the color in this. I actually liked the other one that I reviewed earlier just a smidg (I guess a made upt word for me) better because there was more to look at. But this is great work also.

Very warm and inviting. Excellent depiction of the waters, the white caps are fantastic, very realistic, giving the whole piece good depth. I like the surf lighting as well. Very enjoyable to view. Thanks.

Once again very nice color tones with this painting, they give a nice relaxing feel, like the addition of the rushes in the foreground it adds great depth to the painting, the detail of the sea is spot on, very nice to view, well done again..Brian

Love the view of this as well as all the little details here. Fantastic job on the realism as well. Only suggestion I would make is some dark lines for contrast in both the water as well as along the edge of the far rocky point and along the edge of the grasses.

This is a lovely work of art. Great use of lighting to impart the illusion of motion and the subtle colors are wonderful. Great depth and textures as well.

I like the color setting in the work. It is like whole place is influence of the cloudy day. I also like the composition, which defines beautiful depth.

This is just beautiful. The textures are awesome. So much emotion in this. Make you wonder what others are thinking. I like the colors, contrasts and balance.

Can see from your painting that this is a lovely place to go to! The waves look great!! I've been trying to do water and can't get it. Love the wave action and it's done subtly. I like the perspective you used from the side. There's a thought for me. lol Also like how you did the beach and with the water on it. The dunes are great. I see how you added the ridges in the sand. The bit of vegetation is great. The colors are nice and soft. Can see you have a bit of darker clouds about and also see the opening in the sky and how you treated that on the water with the different hues. Learned something from your painting! Really like the mountains in the background as well. Great job! Enjoyed viewing your painting! Annie

Another well rendered watercolor Suzanne. You have captured the light. NIce use of subtle washes make this a technically brilliant work. Traditional Artists Unite!

Comment from Alexemch


Suzanne you captured all the beauty of this area just by using, in a very skilled way, colours which are all muted pastel but achieved the 'feel' of this beautiful beach in NZ. Quite an achievement I must say as there is nothing much there but wide open spaces but you have made these very attractive to the viewer. You are a true artist and I admire that a lot. Thanks for sharing.
