All I can say is that I would not want to be on that boat! I can't even imagine how terrifying that would be! Love the way you did the waves. They are absolutely churning! You definitely are showing the power of water in your image! Your presentation packs a punch! Very nicely done and worth 6 stars. Excellent entry for the contest!

    I can’t thank you enough for your lovely review and high rating. I’m not sure I’d wanna be on that boat either lol

An impressive painting of a boat in a storm! The framing is thoughtfully executed, and the balance of light, shadows, and colours enhances the overall composition. Fantastic work! Here's my six for you. Cheers!

This is a wonderful painting showing the power of water. The angry (sea) and a boat struggling to stay afloat. The colors and detail in the painting are excellent. Good luck in the contest.

I'm coming for ya! Thats the initial impression I had of this wonderful Pastel. You have illustrated through pastel this little ship in the gigantic ocean just trying to survive. I wonderful rendition. Your details, creatively and imagination brings this presentation home. The details in the ship to form realism is applauded. Nice work!

Great soft pastel here and certainly does show the power of water. This image is very dramatic in appearance and tells a story of men at work braving the storm. Great colours and textures. Well done and good luck in the contest :-)

This has such a -powerful initial impact! The boat is so well rendered, it is braving the storm indeed , if I were on this boat I would be terrified!
The waves are amazing! The dark sky tells this story so well!
This is an excellent show of the power of water. It's so impressive to study, you have accomplished such nice depth in this scene! Your colors are masterfully applied here!
We recently had a large fishing boat capsize in water like this and unfortunately none of the passengers survived! Best wishes to you in this contest!
