Comment from Chris cole


Your brush strokes in this particular piece are really amazing.the white in the waves really brings it to life.it's really hard to add a lot of detail in small objects but with this boat, you had no problem putting in the fine details.that is truly remarkable..I think you'll have no problem in improving your water scenes like you were set out to do..your talent and determination is what will help you improve..very nice work!

    Thank you, artist Chris cole. Appreciate your review and encoragement. Hope so, regarding acrylic as this is my first water scene in acrylic, wish to do more. I've worked more with oils and watercolors. My large ship (looked at Ralph Coventry, painted) is very realistic, the sky is nice, but I wish to do even more on the water. I painted it years back and hope to upload it at some point.

Comment from Daphne Oberon


This is delightful! A really believable feeling of being out there in the waves; I should know, having spent seven years on a 75 foot ocean going tugboat while growing up. My father and the skipper were so seasick when the engine gave out for two days they were no use -- it was just me at age ten and the cook. The environment out there on the Pacific Ocean was not unlike like this... Thanks for sharing!

It is easy to see that you have put a lot of thought and work into this painting Glena, and especially the rough sea is well done. You have also created a lovely sky with birds in flight, and since the boat is red, it is standing out so well.

Your brush work is really good, and it is easy to see that you have paid a good attention to details. Very good use of high lights as well, giving life to this scene.

The format and framing is perfect, and with the good placement of the boat, it is a fine balance in the composition. I think this is a lovely and well done painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A beautifully painted seascape with a great application of this medium to portray the rough seas and skilfully able to give movement to the main subject through your composition and excellent structure.A very impressive piece of work

With fine craftsmanship and handling of the acrylic medium, you have created a painting that is classical in its composition. The harmony of colours and atmospheric light play a supporting role. Well done!

I love the sea and boats and spent 11 years sailing and living on them so have much insight to water behaviour and with this picture you really caught the action. Everything is real, the rough sea and that sky, particularly well done, the boat too is realistic, leaning at a angle through the high cresting waves. The seagulls too are a very good balance. Totally a beautiful presentation.

    Thank you artist friend. This really means a lot coming from a gifted artist as you. And, informing me it is on target when you have had the experience of sailing even encourages me more. By the way, your English and grammar is so excellent. And, thanks for the "6".

This is a n e entry for this contest , I like that the boat is red, it appears to be riding out a storm as it is riding on the large wave . I have been on a boat on waters like this and it's not fun!
The sky is well created with nice realistic clouds moving over the Blue, the water is well rendered with such a good show of its motion.
Boat is well shown , it's well shaped and has good structure.
Well arranged scene , well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
