Red and white boat on foamy waves, stormy waters.

Very pleasing painting of a small fishing boat out on the water in the middle of a storm. I like the way you used the large white waves to express how powerful and dangerous the storm is to the viewer. The large textured waves moves us through the water with ease as we move toward the large dark clouds in the western sky. The story line is strong and clear. Very nice painting. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you, artist Highfive. I am very encouraged that when I went back to painting, and with acrylic, that it turned out as well and was liked as well. Thanks again and for the high rating of "6". Really appreciate it. A "Highfive" to you. Like that chosen Name!

There's a lot of movement in this picture it's very eye-catching I feel like the artist really captured the image that they was seeing in their head it's stormy choppy water the sky is angry and busy I can see the roughness and the struggle I feel that it's all there whatever the artists was trying to express its loud and clear it's very loud I see it I can feel this picture I love the rough water the folds I can feel the cold weather and the dampness from the water makes you feel a sense of being uncomfortable the artist did an awesome job the more I look at this I feel that I am on this boat it's a very powerful picture thank you I can appreciate this painting

Hi Glena, I'm so glad I'm not on that boat! You really gave the feeling of some very rough water! You called it somewhat stormy! It looks pretty stormy to me!!! Yikes! Excellent job of conveying that feeling through your painting! That little bit of red fits the contest to a "T" because it shouts danger! Your eyes immediately focus on that red! Fantastic job! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

Hey there Glena!
What a wonderful piece this is! The colors are well placed as is the detail. The viewers eye is drawn right to the boat on rough seas. The framing is perfect, really great work overall!

I like the vitality of this work. Like the artist, I have found much interest in sea paintings. I see a connection between the bulging water and the sky, and I see independence in the red-hulled boat. A blue sky is always attractive.

    Thank you for your keen observation and comments. But why the 1/2 or .5 off? I just received two "6s"? Please let me know. Hope you will reconsider the rating. Thanks either way.

A very bold and dynamic painting. The action of the waves against the boat immediately capture the attention of the viewer.

The red and white boat stands out prominently in this action scene.

A very nice entry for the contest and I wish you all the best in the judging.

Very beautiful painting. The boat is carried by the waves.
What I really like is - actually everything: the image message, the complementary color contrast and the play with sharpness and blurriness. Amazing work and composition !

P.S : Sorry, I am out of six stars

Boy, I would hate to be in that boat! It does look as if it is being tossed around by the waves. Your work is great and I do see that the sea may calm down soon!
