A very interesting painting. I think the monochromatic presentation works. Well, almost monochromatic given the sparse areas of pinks and greys. I also appreciate how that fence line separates the foreground from the background, nice. This painting, to me is both beautiful and calming. Reasons for my five star vote.

Very nicely done traditional artwork of seascape. The monotone blue with a hint of pink really works for this one. The moon in the sky is a nice touch. Love the placement of the horizon line. Good luck in the contest.

It's an excellent entry for the contest and a beautiful painting .
I getting to recognize your work and I love your style .
What do you think of the water mixable oils ?
Did you paint this in plein air ?
It's a very cool piece and I see your time and energy in each brush stroke .
It's your dedication to your craft that I honestly appreciate .
Thank you for painting and good luck with the contest .

    Many thanks again, John, for your great review and rating. No, I did this inside, mostly from memory as I live on the coast. I'd recommend the water mixable oils as I find them great for drying quickly and without the overpowering smell of turps!

Extremely well done and presented. A virtual 6 in my book. The use of the monochromatic scheme works very well. Even the warm tones are still in the blue spectrum. Excellent depth of field, nice movement and well established mood and environment. The brush strokes textures add to the scene. This reminds me very much of a piece I have been working on. Well done and good luck in the contest.

It must be amazing to live on the beach! This is beautiful work, it's very dreamy to view, I love the blue tones . It's such a pleasure to see the details in the sky and water knowing that you created this, I'm very impressed and thankful for the opportunity to view this work.

Amazing! This is really a beautiful painting. I love how the moonlight is glistening off of that water making it shine. The different shades of blue show perfectly and that subtle hint of pink in the sky really makes the blue hues stand out beautifully. I also like how the waves are crashing up against those posts. You did a wonderful job and I thank you for sharing this :)
