Douglas, I truly am in awe at your talent. Living on the coast and doing a lot of water scenes myself I just need to say this is probably the best representation of ocean water and breaking waves in water color I’ve seen.

Very nice image indeed.
Douglas Hunt
Thank you so much—I’m flattered!
Carolyn Bishop
Wow! Awesome painting, Douglas! So full of life with the breaking waves rolling in! I can almost hear then crashing!
Douglas Hunt
Thanks Carolyn. I really like your Rocky Mountain Gold painting—it, too, is so full of life!

To me that’s the joy and challenge of doing the painting—to trick the eye into seeing more than is there! Thanks for the compliment, juliex.

I too am in awe… you have captured what I have tried and tried to do without any real success. But as i’m an, “If he can do it- I can do it” kind of a soul, I am now more than ever determined to succeed!! Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh my goodness… now I went to douglas’ website and think I may now take up knitting!! You do what I try to do and I am jealous of your talent
Douglas Hunt
Thanks so much for the kind words, pamaryc, and, if it’s any consolation, I constantly come across other artists that make me jealous of their talent!
Shauna Noble
this painting as the others on your site are extraordinary like pamaryc I to am starting to knit now.
Joke of course I love painting too much and your work is inspiring and I do like your philosophy on art in your bio – knit one pearl one knit

Douglas this is probably the best seascape watercolour I have ever seen. The detail is amazing, the quality of rendering the sea is a feat of mastery congratulations on a superb work of art.
Douglas Hunt
wow, thanks coolart!
Alyson Pearson
another I thought was a photo, wow.
such detail, it’s amazing!
Julie Miles
Very beautiful! I remember having to doing watercolor in 7th grade. I also remember my art teacher not being very thrilled with my work.
Douglas Hunt replied
My watercolors weren’t exactly thrilling in 7th grade, either!
avalyn
Wow! What a stunning image. I can see how adept you are at layering and keeping your colours pure. Excellent!
Douglas Hunt
Thanks, Avalyn, I appreciate your comment.
Leslie Gustafson
I saw this on fineartamerica this morning Douglas and thought, “oh he does photography too!”. Oh my gosh, this is a watercolor! unbelievable! I just finished a work with waves and found them challenging. So to see this, jaw dropping and inspirational. All you work is so beautiful Douglas!
Douglas Hunt replied
What a lovely comment, Leslie. Thank you so much. By the way, I DO take photos, too!
