Comment from SteveANH


Love the blue colors in this painting. The way you have included the aqua in the curl of the wave is perfect along with the slight purple in the wash back part of the water just off the beach.

Wonderful framing with the rock.

Well done all around.

Beautiful painting once again Suzanne with a wonderful capture of these waves. The ebb and flow and the tidal build up of the big wave is so real. The blues and greens and the white foam of the breakers is masterfully rendered and the little rock in the foreground just adds a perfect touch to this fabulous seascape. Super well done, from one who knows the difficulties involved in creating wave paintings!

    I have just taken the liberty to read the reviews on your work and honestly Suzanne, I was gob smacked with that review. All I can say is "what rubbish" take no notice. Someone new on the site, a photographer with as yet no ranking, it's almost funny really. I had the same thing happen to me, may have been the same person, I'll check. Your work is awesome don't take negative comments on board,particularly from a novice photographer, that is not the purpose of this site . Anyway Suzanne you are most welcome for the review and very deserving of high praise. Cheers, Trish.

    Thank you so much for taking time to look at the reviews. I know photographers do look at things differently from us and we do all like different things but sometimes it can be a bit hurtful the way some people express their opinions. Thanks very much for your support - made me feel a lot better. Cheers! Suzanne
Comment from Life is but a dream.


Suzanne, lucky you to be able to visit NZ, it is such a picturesque and clean country.

This is quite the dynamic painting and I bet you had fun painting it. Your strokes manipulated in many directions create movement and your differentiation of blue hues give quite a bit of depth to the art.

You caught our eyes with a focal pop of that rock and we are quickly swept into the mid section of your painting with waves and foam.

The roar of the surf coming up is very realistic I especially like the way you handled the heaviness of the wave, we feel it's power and that is all thanks to those heavy greenish lines leading up to the curl of the wave.

You've included everything our eyes love. Lines horizontal and vertical, shapes not only in waves but in rocks, patterns in those bubbles (or rather foam) and I love the attention to detail you have, especially in the spray effect tiny touches of froth escaping from the main wave.

Sometimes when we look at paintings we can hear them as well as see them...this is an image we can hear.

I feel the sincerity of your art, it is powerful and it comes across to us because of your skill as an artist.

    Thank you so much for your lovely in depth review. Yes, NZ is a beautiful country and wonderful for artists because of its fantastic light which heightens all colours. Sadly my daughter now lives in Australia so I won't be able to visit NZ any more but I was lucky to have spent many visits there over the years.

    Thank you again for taking time to review my work and I'm very pleased you like this. Suzanne

    Thank you for your review. I'm not sure what you mean. I think maybe you review from a photographer's eye and not an artist as you always knock marks off my work. The black is not actually black - it's a small rock of different colours. Suzanne

    I just meant that you can bring more reality into your painting by practice..
reply by the author on 09-Sep-2013
    I'm sorry you feel like that. I'm actually 74 years old and have had many many years of practise and if you care to read the other reviews of my work you will see that you are alone in what you think about it. Suzanne

    Everyone has a different opinion..I just review from my point..I just told it because because I have seen many real paintings and you are not bit too far from that..
Comment from Lynnette Smallwood


Nice image, I like the feel of the water, bubbling, moving, always busy. There is a nice emotional moving feeling that goes with this peace. There are a lot of beaches in N.Z. with no one on them. Good job.

Oh, what an inviting sight! Beautiful water and excellent waves and foam. The colors are just extraordinary, and it looks to be a lovely place to be. Such very fine work! How wonderful to have water mixable oil paints. Masterful image!
