This is a wonderful digital artwork. The water is glorious and looks exactly like an original photo with the ss slowing down the motion. Your technique using the ArtRage and studio pro has worked well here.

Very nice.The colors are just beautiful.Like the softness to it,but also the action with the tide coming in.The tide is accented well with the rocks to the left to lead your eye to the tip of the wave at front.Enjoyed.

a very ethereal work, this has very good character to it. I can feel the ocean on this. you depicted the water very nicely, earthy and with good motion to it. its a nice level work, well composed and with nice subdued colors that work with each other. this would make a nice 12x18" enlargement. great work!

I like this very much. Beautiful composition, interesting to look at. This has a sense of foreboding, as the wave has a menacing look, plus the darkness of the cloudy day. Very real depiction full of feeling. Also like the softness, bluriness, also gives the feel of real motion to the water. Great work. Peace.

    Thank you very much. You are absolute right, the ocean has some of menacing in it. It is a storm coming in with the tide.
Comment from Robin Gillow


This looks like a photograph! This has been very well executed and the way you have composed it, is appealing. All up it is a really nice piece of artwork that you should be pretty pleased with. I just wish the colour were a little brighter though to attract viewer interest a bit more. Otherwise lovely. Robin.

    Thank you Robin, I appreciate your review and input very much. I'll think about the color for a future painting. I had chose these color for the feel of the dark and stormy day and the slightly malicious behavior of the ocean at this time.

This is a stunning shot

The mood of this is so rough and looks so cruel with the darker colours

Striking nevertheless

Very interesting picture of the tide coming in. I think that you have done a very good translation of your digital painting. I love the blues and the movement of the waves. Well done.
