Another great work. I love how the whiteness at the bottom of the waves look like white fire to me. The misty sky is a great touch strong blues in the water.

Your angry ocean is showing the action and movement of the sea. The mist , the sky and the beautiful white birds all work together for the beauty of your creation. I like the many shades of blue and white Good job Bingo!

I love this Shawn. This is a great entry for Painting Water. Living near the ocean we see a lot of these great waves. You have captured this one well through your painting. The additional of the seagulls just adds a great touch to it. Best of luck in the contest. Shirley

This is stunning! If I had another 6, I'd use it! When I find art that I love, I find I keep looking and looking. The first impact is stunning and so is the second and the third.... good luck in the contest, I love this!

I continue to admire your skill in the mixed media department. I have no idea how you do this; this looks like it was painted in water colors. I love the thunderous crashing of the waves, the mist thrown up in the air from their meeting, the two gulls oblivious to their power. Just a gorgeous piece. Good luck in the contest.

Shawn, painting water is very difficult with any medium...but in digital, I find it to be the greatest challenge. This painting is excellent. The water has beautiful coloration and movement. I like the simplicity of the image and the seagulls unimposing in the background. I see a steady improvement in your art. You continue to reach to new levels. It has been interesting to witness your progress. Overall, a very interesting technique. Russ

I like the different shades of colors you have chosen. My eye is caught by the vibrant colors in the waves and then is carried to the clouds. I reallylike this
