Nice creation and it sounds like a great place to be right now. I know its warmer down your way right now. The rocks look very life like and the water in front with reflections are cool. The ocean shows movement and the sky looks like maybe it is in the middle of a beautiful sunset oh yeah now I see it LOL and the palm trees look content and color full Thanks for sharing this. Bingo!

Hi there Shawn! Very nice tropical painting. Colors are very nice. I like the sun sitting low in the sky, and the gulls flying. The rock has nice form and textural rendering. The reflections are cool and accurate. Looks like a nice place to meet, LOL. Great job. Shawn!

Now I never found this beautiful place when I lived in Hawaii. Did see the lava rocks and small islands in the water. The coloring in this is awesome. The way you did the sky, put in the clouds, have the birds flying, created depth, did the palms, put in the reflections and did the sand and water are all excellent. A beautiful and creative picture.

That is a very pretty digital painting, and shows much technical ability. The colors are harmonious, and the subject is nice and peaceful, with a pleasant center of interest.

This is very nice. I like your use of purple throughtout the entire piece. Gives conformity but at the same time nothing is lost. I like the gulls - gives a nice touch of realism.

Very nice bright work.I thought it is ink painting.But your digital works are always amazing.
This has an effect like painting strokes.The palmtrees become center of attraction,and the rocks look beautiful with this contrast.The shine on water and the overall lighting and shadows look very interesting.The sky has lovely colours and birds give a LIFE to this picture.
Thanks for sharing.

Really like the way the background and foreground colors blend together so nicely. sun sitting low in the sky adds a nice focal point. Carries your eye right to it. Very well painted. Love the water in the middle and foreground areas. Nice reflections. Well done.
