Gerald, This is first rate....so simple, yet you captured the rolling wave and splashing sea spray to perfection! Well done! Kay
Thank you Kay, I really enjoyed painting this one,I also remember standing on the rocks to get the shot and was glad to walk back off them as the waves where coming in and I don't swim..
Love the idea of capturing the feel of a scene. I've been trying that more too, although I guess that's been a goal all along. But lately I've tried just painting from the memory as an experiment. It does tend to simplify it all.
Gerald - Can I tell you something odd? I have always been afraid of the ocean and this work, although beautiful, makes me uncomfortable...which ultimately means you have rendered it perfectly... How's that for a left handed compliment? What can I say...I'm left handed...
Cara, I too am afraid of the ocean. I never learned to swim ether, but I do love painting them... So from one left handed artist to another, I thank you.

Wonderful stark composition... very Japanese.

Good afternoon Diana, You are correct,
"Simplify" is the key...Oh! I do tend to dig in and complicate my path..
Keep up the great work Diana..
