    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!
