My first try at painting the sea; I thought a big wave would be nice to try. Just finished it.

Acrylics on canvas, 2008, 40×40 cm
It’s a 4 cm thick canvas frame and the sides are painted, so there’s no need for a frame really.

This is glorious, wonderful artwork, colours and imagery, so beautifully rendered, reminds me of that wonderful Japanese painting, hope you sell as many as that did. hugs
I hope so too Hilary! Thanks!!

This has a nice feeling to it. Wave painting is not very easy to do, but you seem to have what it takes.
Thank you MtnMan, that sounds good to me!

I find the picture of the painting above a couch, wickedly funny by the way…
I thought they could use some action and color in the room ;-)

I certainly like it a great deal Arie! It’s beautiful and captures the power of the sea perfectly I think – lovely tones and great brushwork, my friend!
Aww thank you so much dear Lianne….I got already so many wonderful responses that I’m thinking I did well with this one ;-)

This my dear Arie……is your finest masterpiece of all. It’s the most incredible painting!!! The light captured in the wave and the passion within this makes it perfect. Love it completely.
Thank you Sal, very sweet of you! I don’t know about the finest, it felt like I was in these waves this week. Masterpiece is definitely not the right word I think.
