Great artwork of this white shark encountering the scuba diver under the water.
The detail's including the bubbles from the divers mask are so real.
Great shading on the shark and so suitable background!

I can't swim. So, I am glad that I don't have to meet with these underwater deadly creatures !:) You have painted this well in pastels. The light and shadows, colours, and composition have worked out well. Good luck!

Hi Maureen, this soft pastel art is a terrifying reminder of the movie jaws which in the 70s stopped people from going in the water. Very good job and thanks for sharing, cheers.

I love how you depict the dark depths of the ocean but can focus on the sharks and divers. Very detailed images for divers and sharks that look real. This painting motivates me to be able to paint better

This is a very dramatic and frightening illustration of a diver meeting up with a shark, in the shark's territory. Your artwork captures the fierceness of the great white shark that none of us want to experience. The detail and colors are very well done.

GOOD HEAVENS, Maureen! This is one encounter I definitely would not like to have! I have no plans of being a shark's dinner! Love the way you created this though. The sunbeams softly breaking thru water are very nice. The confrontation is mind-blowing! From the look of the shark to the diver, you really created an awesome image! Wish I had a six for you! :o) Nancy

Rather him than me in your very dramatic composition. Like the stream of bubbles. Colours, textures and tones are good. Reckon I know which will win? Nicely drawn!
