The coastal landscape is intriguing. It is painted with good attention to refined and exact detail. The perspective is flawless. Although the colors are limited, they are realistic and adequate for the region. The painting is also well composed, balanced and framed.

I love it! I find watercolor to be a medium that is complicated. I commend you on the amazing detail you have achieved and I love the soft colors and the sea oats themselves.

A beautiful watercolor. I like the subtle color palette which will, no doubt, set it apart from many of the entries in this contest. A beautiful scene that is captured perfectly. Good luck in the voting.

What a lovely watercolour painting!
I had to look twice because of its very photographic look and feel to it!
Love the beach theme and that portrait format this works very well, wonderful colour use and how you have painted the subtle looking shadows in the dunes, but best of all for me is that sense of movement especially in the tall grasses this makes the whole image come alive! Good luck with the contest!

Strong visual impact, this is immediately pleasing to view, I love the beach and everything about it, here you have created the beautiful sea oats, I love the way they are placed in this scene , first in the foreground and then about midway out to the water, they are well shaped with realistic structure, I like the grasses that surround the sea oats, the sandy beach and the blue water, pretty clouds with bits of silvery blue running through, the eye is always drawn back to the sea oats! This is beautifully created, arranged and resented! Best wishes to you in the contest!

For me this is an Excellent entry for the flower contest.
I believe that taking a different and unique approach to a theme is the way to go.
This one is very well done and will certainly stand out from the Normal flower entries.
Excellent details and such a nice soft and peaceful scene. Reminds me of the Carolina Coast.
Best of the best in the contest. I will be looking for this one ~ Steve

Lovely watercolor image depicting wild grasses and flowers on the beach. This is a unique image for a flower contest. Well executed with a mix of loose flowing colors and sharp details. Good color. Good perspective. Nice shading. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
