Excellent! I am amazed at the different shades of blue you have used in this to give it so much life and this ocean is alive with movement as is the sky. Great reflection in the water. Very nice brush strokes. Excellent piece of art work, well done and good luck!

Congrats on the contest win. It is deserved. This is a beautiful mystic, romantic painting. I can just stroll slowly along the beach enjoying the soft light of the moon and listening to the waves caressing the beach. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. This was an old painting I posted a few years ago so that's probably why you haven't seen it before. Suzanne

You have done it again Suzzanne. I first thought this was a very fine photograph and was surprised to open it and find this wonderful oil painting. Outstanding colors and texture as the waves crash to shore under tremendous lighting conditions.

I have to commend you. Just amazing how you can make so many shades of blue so interesting! All down to your use of those colours as well as brush strokes to create sky, clouds, moon and sea. Quite delightful and a real pleasure to view.

Beautiful rendition of the sea. The lighting is spectacular and the texture is remarkable. The shading of the hues of cyan- becoming darker toward the horizon is most effective. The sky lit up the diffused sun and the lit up clouds surrounding the sun is gorgeous. No wonder this piece of work won a contest. Absolutely wonderful.
