Very nice oil of a breaking wave. Nice sense of movement in the water. Good wave action. Nice mix of the colors. Good composition. Well done!

Comment from Kevin Williams
This is amazing. I can see why this is a contest winner. The water has a definite realistic look and feel to it. The movement and color of the waves brings this painting to life. Great work!

Many thanks, Paul, for your great review. I've done so many paintings of the sea but never get tired of trying to capture the movement of the waves! RR

My pleasure RR

This is a wonderful painting depicting the flowing, twisting waves. The light and shadows,natural shades of blue for the water and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from adriansart
Suzanne this is superb it not only looking like the sea but it really feels like the sea, gorgeous colours love the movement in that wave I also like the portrait composition and only having the top third as the sky! So realistic looking I can almost hear that wave crashing over!

Comment from Linda Prebyl
Overall a good painting of the sea. I can see where the brushstrokes add to the waves but in other parts I am wishing they were more horizontal or not present at all, perhaps just a little smoothing for a softer look, but the lower wave looks great.

This is a fantastic painting Suzanne! The shape and colors of the wave are stunning. The motion of the water comes alive off the canvas. Really nice work :)

Comment from Sange
Really like the colors chosen to create the oceans blues/greens.
The Sense of movement of the incoming wave, the curl shape it's about to shape into before it breaks and the fine textures and highlights are all very nice here Suzanne.
Nice painting!
