the water and reeds make this one and a bit of moody sky, but mainly the water. It has been carefully studied and worked out on the picture. The positioning is perfect, with the water running to the centre and the one tree adding interest and also giving another one of, as the dying sun. Beautiful colours.

You know Linda, you are one Fabulous artist. That you can take an ocean scene, which could be rather ordinary, and turn it into something extraordinary says so much about your talent. I really like the impressionist effect that you Did achieve. Very well done Linda ~ Steve

This is a beautiful piece. I like the way the light leading through the frame gives a lot of depth. The colors are great and the little tree adds further interest. Great work!

I feel as though I am actually walking into this beautiful place! And can almost feel the reeds brushing up against me as a walk past them. Colors are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent expressive painting of the marsh that leads to the sea. lighting is beautiful as it spills from sea and into the marsh. Enjoy how you painted the marsh grass and how it frames your painting. Thank You for sharing.

Comment from ABG Photography


This is absolutely beautiful! Was this done with pastels? It would be great to read your notes on the process involved. Your long strokes representing the marsh grasses blowing in the wind are excellent and the path of light over the marsh waters is enchanting and does a great job of leading the viewer into the composition and giving depth to the landscape. Beautiful, soothing color and your technique work so very well together.

    Yes it was done with pastels. I used a photo reference but I always change the pieces so they are never exactly like a photograph. Thank you for your stellar review and analysis.
