You paint lovely pictures and this is another beauty. It has strong initial impact, and is interesting to look at. The colors are most harmonious. The soft focus you have created on the rocks and in the background lends a pleasant atmosphere.

Beautiful painting. I especially love the detail of the islands off n the distance. The rich colors of the mountain side in the foreground is equally as impressive.

Now this would really make the cold go away! Wish I was there. Beautiful colors in this especially the tones in the water, looks so inviting. Great composition, good details.

Comment from Spirit Dove


Very beautiful work with oils.

I particularly love the colorful rocks very well done and defined.

The water is has much body and flow to it. I like the little birds a nice extra detail.
I am thinking as I look that maybe if the mountains in the distance where a little more defined it would create a little more depth drawing the eye inward. Great work thanks for sharing your lovely painting.

Suzanne I think this is a lovely oil painting. I am amazed at your lightness of touch with oil and envy you that skill as I have never been able to achieve such a standard. (although I keep practicing mostly with acrylic!) The sky is so beautifully depicted, as are the rocks in the foreground and the sea especially the waves. Love the very subtle colours you used and can only say congratulations for your wonderful talent. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Wow Suzanne what a beautiful painting of the ocean in New Zealand. It looks so inviting to come sit by the sea and feel the beauty flowing and see it all around. The rocks have such nice color and the grass dresses it up a little too. The far off mountains and the sky and clouds all add to your painting also the surfers playing in the waves. Awesome Bingo!

Comment from Ganev Smallwood


An atmospheric work. The sea works well, so do the rocks - like your bold use of colours in them - especially the purpley shades. Good clouds too - from my experience they're difficult to get just right.

Very nice view of the ocean. Like the perspective of the scene. Rocks are well painted and gives nice contrast to the painting. Sky area with its darker clouds gives a sense of an overcast day. Well done. Enjoyed viewing.
