I love this monochromatic use of blue. I've actually been at a beach at the right time of the evening when everything seemed to be one color. It doesn't happen often but when it does, it's spectacular. Your skillful incremental tonal differences bring a very soothing effect to this wonderful scene. Really beautiful.

A very lovely visual presented here. I love the fact that you've limited your colors with those wonderful shades of blue. I can actually feel and hear the waves as they touch the shore. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

This really is a beautiful painting of an all-time favourite subject matter. The colours are awesome, and the fading light adds mystery. Finely composed this makes for interesting viewing! Good luck!

Comment from Jack Moore


This is a beautiful piece of work, even with all the blue you can see a number of things that stick out like the water and the mountains on the horizon. I also like how the moon cast a little light over the water and the mountains. This looks like a great entry for the contest and I wish you the best in it. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing this beautiful piece. Good luck in the contest. JackJr.

This is outstanding work with blue and best wishes in the contest. If you painted this by hand, this definitely is worth a "six" with the mountains done with great skill and the water and moon in the night.

    Most welcome. The shades of blue and suggestions of shapes are done so well. I just listed to a video how a professional artist also indicated the variation of a color is important.

Seascapes are a favorite subject for me to paint. Your acrylic rendition of a nighttime view of the bay is good but I feel the details are lacking. Just my taste.
The monochromatic colors were a good choice. I think it needs some moon glow on the water to give it a moody point of interest.
Good luck in the contest.

A good looking image presented here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of the that beautiful nocturnal seascape. Textures, colours and tones are good. Well painted and good luck!

I love the color blue you used. It's a very deep and rich color and the way of your stroke brings the image to life. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
