You have definitely captured the power of the wave in this beautiful piece! I love your impasto brush strokes - you lay down a variety of colors - deep cobalt, emerald green, white, midnight blue, powder blue all mixing and giving it a rough realism. It gives a very realistic feel and force to your work.

Very nicely done! Thank you for sharing.

A gorgeous entry into the Waves Contest. The initial impact is your creating of the stunning waves. I love the movement created in your art work and those beautiful white caps. Excellent brush strokes and gorgeous color pallet and good blending and shading of colors. A good balance of tones and shapes in your scene. Your play with light and shadows brings this wave to life. Outstanding and creative art work. Best of wishes in the contest. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful painting. You have indeed captured the power and movement of the wave. Good color selections and nice use of the brushes to create the froth and waves. I do find the heavy stroke lines a little distracting. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

A fabulous painting, and a worthy winner. I love the movement and colour in this, and the way you've used light to convey the movement of the waves. Just stunning.

Love this! Wonderful colors and great details showing the closeness of the waves. I love the ocean and this draws me in. I feel like I'm there seeing and hearing the waves splash upon the shore. Thank you so much for sharing! :) Jill

Comment from Andy C Smith


I love your use of blues and turquoise. The direction of your strokes along with the use of whites realy show the wave in motion as it breaks. This is something i would like to try with the airbrush, if I do then it's safe to say this artwork you've created would be the inspiration for it! Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much, Lucas, for your lovely review. I've done many sea paintings in the past, as I live on the coast in the UK and always like to try and capture the motion of the water. Suzanne

Awesome creation. The details is excellent. The shading is superb. The blend of the colors is awesome. The wave form is realistic. The depth is excellent.

Well, I can see why you wanted to revive this one. The painting technique is just a powerful as the wave event itself. Thank you for taking the time and effort to bring this one back. It is a joy to view. Reasons for my five star vote.

    Many thanks, Carl, for your great review. Thought I'd revive a traditional art piece as a change from the abstract pebbles and coasters! Suzanne
