Comment from Mike Roberts
This is a very nice, soft, easy on the eyes, beach composition. All colors work very well together. The surf is very beautiful rolling in, you can almost smell it and hear it. The plants add more warmth and life. Everything is so soft, inviting. The distant rockey coast makes the foreground sand appear even softer. May I walk right into it? My bare feet could use the refreshment and this looks so lovely.

THE COLORS AND HUES YOU CHOSE ARE ABSOLUTELY BEATIFUL I'M NOT SURE WHAT TIME OF YEAR THIS IS BUT IT REMINDS ME OF LATE FALL OR EARLY SPRING WHEN THERE IS A BIT OF A CHILL IN THE AIR

What a beautiful late afternoon walk on the beach. The sun is still casting its light but a different scene. The water is very pretty and the sky is all changing very quickly. Great plants too and its all cool thanks for sharing Bingo!

Comment from ageofgrace
You have certainly captured the light exceptionally well
The clouds and sea and sand and touch of shrubbery in the front all add to a very well composed painting
Well presented and well framed

Comment from skoropinski1
nice soft ocean scene nice job with that feeling of being at the ocean
very nice depth the only thing I would suggest is possibly working on a stronger contrast a little more, just perhaps some stronger color,but this picture works very nicely
and I think you are a very good painter

You always do a beautiful job of capturing the light and colors of the lovely beach. This is especially appealing, with the soft blues and purples of the sky and water.
