initial impact on me was "who did this?" great job. The best are those waves and the light you show coming through them. fantastic job! you make me want to get to my painting! thanks for the inspiration friend!

Nice work here. I like how the brush strokes see soft, at least I think that's the right phrase. I love the detail of the ocean and spraying of the water against the hull. The sail detail is also nice. Thanks for showing.

Nice picture with the great story about great adventures and about far travels around the world,the performance of the piece is perfect and artist has high level of mastery but the colors are too the similar to each other and all image is a little fade because of this.

This is a really pretty painting. I like the greenish blue colors throughout. The water looks quite real and the ship is nicely done and well proportioned. Very nice job on a difficult subject.

Very nice watercolor painting. The proportions of the sails and ship are perfect. I love the color and movement in the water. It looks like the ship is heading toward a storm. Nicely done.
