I really like this and see why it is so highly ranked. The waves seem to be swallowing the boat. The details of your work are excellent. I like how the day seems fine except for that swell of water. Very nicely done. Excellent!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for such fine remarks. I really appreciate that. Just gone back to acrylics, which I hadn't used like I had oils and watercolor, years back.

This is really nicely done. Your technique really demonstrates the feel and mood of the scene with rhe choppy waters! Colors look really natural. The boat scale looks very real. Well created. Nice job.

Comment from Lily Thorns


This is truly incredible. I really appreciate the time you've obviously taken choosing the colours and texture that accurately reflect the turbulent wavesð???

Comment from shoregrass


This is magnificent! The rendering is so well executed that I can feel those turbulent waves rocking the boat. Beautifully composed and immediately appealing. A true masterpiece. Best of luck in the contest.

Great piece. When I first lay eyes on this I could feel my stomach drop as if I was on the boat. The colours are well balanced. Texture is presented throughout the painting. Well executed. Thanks for sharing

Nicely done Glena. Love the textures, the turbulent waves are great up around the boat! Love the transition onto the right side, storm to calm. I feel the birds help with that also. Their softness and positioning work well with the clouds, and creating the passage into the 'peace'. Beautiful :)

I'm surprised this boat is still floating. Those waves are deadly. The red boat against the white waves of the water is stunning. I like how you have the sky. Very small horizon on the left. But it is covered by the waves on the right.

Comment from Shadow catcher


A very impressive piece, I wouldn't want to be on that boat from the looks of that angry sea tossing it about. Very dramatic,excellent job portraying the roughness of the waves and stormy clouds, the addition of the gulls nicely balances out this scene and adds additional interest. The red of the boat really draws the eye into your painting,best wishes to you in this contest!

Glena,
A beautiful painting of the small red Fishing Boat being tossed about by the wind blown waves crashing on it's hull. The wind is also causing the clouds above to race across the heavens above the Gulls also riding the wind currents. Created your artist's eye for composition very skilful brush work, beautiful choice, blending & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life.
