Nice ocean view. Love the sky area and the rough seas. Wave action is nicely handled and suggestions great motion. Overall, a very nicely executed painting with lots of appeal. Well done.

Gorgeous entry for the contest, Suzanne. I really love all the nuance of color in the water and how well your composition and rendering convey the feeling of water movement and the crashing of waves. Excellent depth and the sky is almost just as magical as the water. Very well done.

You have captured the power of the sea expertly in this picture, with the rolling waves foaming and breaking. Great sky too!

Beautiful study of waves. Professional execution, very realistic. I also love the clouds. Very good first impact. I wish I could pack and go to New Zealand just for photographing.

Many thanks for your lovely review. The light in New Zealand is so good for painting or photography. Hope you get there some day. Suzanne

stunning, you have captured the waves so well in this. Water is not an easy thing to paint but you have nailed it. Perfect contender for the contest, all the best with it

Beautiful work, here Suzanne:) It's a great "Art Piece" and does look like the tide is rolling in and the clouds are getting deeper and darkened as it looks like a big storm is on it's way or maybe it's already been storming;) The colors are so natural that it looks like a photo of the Ocean and turned it into a painting.. I've got a few photos that I've did that too. Excellent job, Suzanne.. Thank you for sharing it with us and I wish you the best in the contest:)-Cindy

Lovely art work, excellent showing of the ocean waves. Colours are well blended and show a real difference between the ocean and the sky. Very nicely done.
