Very beautiful piece of artwork!!! At first I though it was a painting. Very nice colors that blend well together. Very nice work on the waves. Well done!

Comment from Angelheart The First


Beautiful as always Shawn and
I like the technique that you used for this.I like the deeper and the darker colors within the painting however I think you are sure that I personally don't like pastel work for the most part.You could send me a paint by number so I could do something that looks as good as yours though!!
Lovely,as always.
Angelheart :)

    Hi, Angel. I remember about the bright and bold colors, but this one wasn't lending itself to anything but pastels. :) I have this strange brown colored gradient, that when you invert it, it turns the most beautiful blue. That's what I used, and I had it green, orange, well...you name it. Anyway it looked the best as it is now. Again, thank you, Angel

i like posterizing/but i would like to see original for comparison/colors are excellent-bright contrasting and rising to the occasion/mid colors very calming/cool

    Don't feel bad :) I was just letting you know that this is the original. The filter I mentioned, I worked into the painting, and then did work on top of that after I applied the filter. So it was used from the beginning of the work. By the way...WELCOME to FAR! Good to have you aboard :)

Comment from paulinejjones


This has great impact and the colors are lovely and restful. The overall composition is good. I would suggest that you try blending the layers of color in the background a little more, but over all, well done.

    I thank you for taking the time to review this for me, Pauline. I stated in my notes that this is poster art, it's supposed to be that way. The posterize filter separates the colors, so it's that way intentionally :)
Comment from Darkling


This is a very beautiful and calming picture. The colours are so soft and soothing, and amazingly blended.
It's making me wish I was relaxing on a tropical beach right now!

Comment from ambermay


It's a beautiful painting.

I see it large size in thin navy-blue frame on a wall.
Very good composition and it's amazing how different shades of blue made the impact.
Great blend and love the softness to it.
Thank you for sharing your art.

Comment from Robin Gillow


Although this does not really grab me on a general viewing front, I cannot fault it on a creative level. It has good colour and compositional balance and has been well executed. Robin
