The thrashing seas are excellent. I can just imagine it.The wild coastal seas make the calm building in the background seem even more stable. A Contest between the seas and the concrete!

I love this idyllic scene! Your painting has just enough abstract to make it appealing and enough realism to provide interest. The colors are gorgeous and flow well together. The water is well represented and feels appropriate. Well composed and beautifully presented! Best wishes for the contest!

    Thank you for reviewing and I particularly that you picked up on impressionism and realism... that's a style I mostly aim for.

Cool,Brenda!
It's a fine looking watercolor painting.my friend!
It has a pleasantly 'Dramatic' sort of a tone that makes it a very enjoyable picture to look at!
'Good Show'! : )

Quite a good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of Whitely Bay. Colours and tones are good. Nicely painted!

Lovely painting of the dramatic high tide with soft white and blue colors. The solid structure almost reaching the sky in the back is balancing the crashing wave with nice sun reflections.

Great composition of the ocean water movement and nice summer presentation.
Good luck in the contest!

Your seascape is dramatic. The high waves crashing onto shore are impressive. I like your bolt brush strokes which give a expressionistic touch to your artwork. The reflections in the water and the golden hue beneath the wave near the center are especial interesting. I appreciate the realism of light and color. There is a lot of white ate the ocean and the land tongue at the background, but the white content is well balanced. The view over the water is interesting. Perspective and proportions are correct. The seascape is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

I like this one Brenda! It's a well rendered scene on the water at high tide. The scene is brought to life with your creation of the water and the wave crashing in to the left, well shown realistic background sky and structures . Nice choice and application of the colors .
Well arranged and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Comment from DeansterZ


With no real art background or knowledge, judging art is a challenge for me. This one however is easy, It is awesome! Don't know much but what I do know is what I like. Seriously, love the motion and the mood captured here. I almost expect the waves to come crashing over my keyboard.
