Very nice job here. Love the way the ship is rocking in the water... nice water as well. Very creatively done. You do well with twisted brush. I have it but never used it. LOL

    with your talent Norma you have got to give twisted brush a try, you'd be amazed what you could do.

I like the clipper ships too..find them romantic and evocative of other times and places and lives.
Like how you've painted it here, in full sail leaning (or is the word keeing?) to the side against that bright golden sky with the sun setting.
Like how the sky is framed with an amber color, how the sky colors are reflected in the water in middle to back of frame, how the foreground water is deep blue, how we see the white water around the ship, and the patterns of the ripples.
Good placement of the ship in the frame, good definition of the ship with nice detail.
Enjoy looking at this.
hey maybe next time you could put in a few pirates..

Nice colors here of the ship and the night sky. I'm glad that you didn't place the ship smack in the center of this work - very nice!

You are so good at painting
digitally and have far surpas-
sed me in the past year.And,
you have beat people who have had a monopoly on winning
contests.That in itself is
something to be very proud of.
This is absolutely stunning!
I love the sky,the rich colors.The ship has amazing detail and the water is perfect.The work as a whole...
Outstanding,that's why I'm giving you this!
Angelheart :)

Lovely piece of work, I wish I had a fraction of your ability to portray such wonderful scenes. Use of colour is superb and the impression of movement is great

    Its complments like this that keep me going. with my last few pieces I was beginning to think I lost my edge so to speak, but it's this type of reviews that make me realize my work isn't as bad as I thinkit is.
    thank you for making my day

This is beautiful. So dimensional. Beautiful choice of colors and shading for the sky and setting sun. You can feel the movement of the water and the boat. Really nicely done.

Ahoy me hearties! What a wonderful piece of digital art this is. I just love the way you have the golden light falling onto the ship. There's a great sense of movement of the boat in the water too. Very clever work.
