I was drawn to this because it reminds me of a painting done by CMDR Lloyd Bucher, a Naval Officer that was my biggest hero and proud to have had the privilege of knowing.
Your painting is presented well and relays the turbulence from sea and sky. Well done

Superb image and a great impression! A beautiful work, very eye-catching! wonderful shades of blue, I like the movement of the waves . I can almost feel the salty and cool sea breeze. the ship is also impressive, very well done and nice color blending . Best of luck in the contest !

A very nice painting much in the style of Coventry. I must admit that I prefer Joseph Turner for ships and seascapes. Best of luck in the contest.

This is very nice, I love ships as a painting, I have only attempted to do one but not on rough water like this, a lot of details here, your work is very inspirational

A fine effort indeed! I find it expressive and dramatic. Everything worked for me, from the illustrative style, balance, colour, texture. Practice makes one perfect. Keep them coming!

    Thank you. I did it several years back in oil on canvas. Thanks for reviewing. I still need to get a camera good enough to capture my work as is.

Very nice artwork here! Your design of your ship is very good. I like the proud and tall feel of your ship. The colors you used for the ocean and the sky are lovely. Congratulations on a very good effort!

Your painting is interesting. This ship reminds me of old folktales. It seems to sail perfectly all by itself like the Flying Dutchman. Your attention to realistic detail and color is impressive. Proportions and perspective are correct. The tall format emphasizes the sail-ship perfectly. The ship has a good placement within the frame. The painting is expertly composed. The composition is balanced.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that old ship bobbing along a choppy sea. Colours, textures and tones are good. Well painted and good luck!

A very good oil painting of the old ship with excellent detail of the sails capturing the wind. You have created movement with your brush and the clouds in background are done nicely.
