Gorgeous!

Hey you're hogging the top ten list! Just kidding!

What a beautiful water color. I wish you lived near me. I'd be at your house learning all kinds of stuff, draining you dry of ideas.LOL

This is just wonderful and I see nothing to nitpick.

What talent you have!

    Thank you, Jewel!! I don't think I'd get very far up that list with just a few pieces of traditional art left. I don't paint traditional any more. The one's I have been posting are older works. Thanks again for the great review.

You have captured th movement of the ocean very well in this painting. I like the crests of the waves with the spray. Nice pastel colors. The boat in full sails is holding its own. Very creative piece. Thanks for sharing your work.

Really nice picture full of detail and interest. The feeling of the sea has been captured really well and the colours work really well to add to the watery feeling of the picture

Love the pastel shades used in this painting and you have captured a great feeling of movement.
Great light and shade and the detail in the ship is really good.
My one comment is I feel it is to central, it can't go anywhere and doesent seem to have come from any where. But the picture, and detial are great.

Comment from Judith C Miller


You have done a fine job with your color harmony here. Excellent job on the ocean! Water is so illusive to capture and you have gotten the power and movement down well. Right down to the spray. I would love to see you do more paintings with water.

Comment from Tanya


Briliant. Perspective just right. This reminds me of a Ghost ship. I like the way you have caught the top of the waves being blown by the wind and the full sails.

    Thank you, Cathal, for the great review on this! I did forget one thing, however, and didn't realize it til yesterday. She has no name on the hull. If you have any good Irish suggestions as to a name, I would appreciate it. I can put it on digitally, as I plan to do prints of this.
