Congrats on your win. This is amazing. It is so realistic. It looks like a photo at first glance. Just beautiful and the wind is well deserved.

Congratulations on your win for the Summertime contest. Your painting is beautiful and looks so realistic. I thought it was a photograph the first time I looked at it. Well done!

Wow this is pretty amazing painting. So vivid and as real as a picture.that spray hitting the sail is so alive and caught the energy of the wave. I love the swirl of the water. very very nice!!

WOW! This person is definitely a thrill seeker. Though I wouldn't mind watchin I'd be scared to death if I were on the sailboat! You definitely passed on the awe of seeing a boat race like this!
Love the splash and the tipped boat! There is a HUGE yikes factor in this image. Janice...This is an awesome painting! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a good view of that fast moving boat. Not sure that this is a summertime image though. Well painted and good luck!

Comment from Sean T Phelan


That's an Excellent paintinig,my friend!
It's filled with enjoyable Interest and Action!
The sailing vessel seems to be on the very edge of capsizing and you've depicted the 'nervy' tone of that wonderfully!
If I still had any Six Star ratings I'd give one to this terrific presentation immediately!

Comment from cleo85


This painting is striking. How the sailboat hits the wave leaves the viewers breathless, because we do not know if the boat will straighten out or rollover. Your smooth brush strokes are impressive. The colors are realistic. Proportions and perspective are correct. The painting is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.
