This is a wonderfull water color painting, I really like the highlightings and the shading, nice use of soft smooth colors, also like the waves hitting the boat, and the smooth soft sky. an excellent painting once again. Well done.

Comment from Cephus
Unusual palette of colors but seems to work well in this image. The waves seem rather 3 dimensional and the composition with the boat is well done.

I love the ocean! The water is wonderfully rendered as is the ship. The colors chosen are lively and the painting is well composed. Excellent

Comment from granny
I have a painting very similar in my home. I love your choice in color. The waves are crashing against the ship but it stays strong and tall.
I hope you're able to do such great work well into your later years.
Do you have any other work similar but with storm clouds? I think that would be great - higher seas and dark skies and still standing tall. There is no doubt you can do it.

Thank you so much for the super beautiful review on this, Granny!! I really appreciate it. Now that I have this on my PC, I think I will play with it more digitally. Possibly add a few storm clouds and rougher seas.

Comment from Anne
An artist with the computer and an artist wit a paint brush. Seems like some people just get all the talent. This is an awesome work of art. The washes in this are excellent. I like the coloring and the way you have saved the whites. The way you have the waves, the detail in the ship, the entire composition are all excellent. Bet they got sea sick on this trip. A beautiful and excellent work of art.

Now I don't want to hear that anybody bad-mouth this. I'll send a hit squad after them. First of all, I sallute you for doing two things I don't. Water colors dry too fast for me, and I have only painted two ships in my life. You really did a fantastic job. I like the blues, of course. I can feel the waves rolling and the ship crashing its way through them. Too bad I didn't have the sic novas to give you.

Thank you, Bill!! When I work with watercolors, I work wet on wet, and use a hair dryer when needed. Thanks again for the great review, and the compliment. :)

Everything works well together in this painting. The colors and lighting give it a fantasy quality. Great waves and sails which show the wind and fun beginning.
