This is a very beautiful work you have posted here. Great colors of the water, sky, and ship. I do like the rather soft yet vibrant colors used here, they do add life to this painting and a bit of reality. Very nice work.

wow, this is really good watercolor painting, i love the color contrast you chose, great sky blending along with its reflection on the raging sea waves, the sailing ship is well painted and shaded, excellent artistic talent

My dear Shawn, you have amazing talent! This is beautiful. I have a hard time w/watercolors. I tend to overpaint. You inspire me...Coffee

jeez thats really lovely, theres real depth to the sea and none of the hardness in the boat that seems to come with a lot of seascapes ive seen on the site, the sails are billowing, really lovely

Neat painting, the sea is positively boiling and i like the way the colours are nearly the same throughout, just differing in intensity. Very nice and well constructed watercolour.

I love paintings of boats anyway and this is excellent. Great use of the medium and how I envy the way you have managed the waves and spray, they look so good. i like to the angle you have the boat, it looks very imposing, bearing down on the viewer. Great work.
