Gorgeous scenery Linda….great texture on the driftwood, and the composition is really lovely…you have a great talent with acrylic which is a difficult medium to master…

This is wonderful. I love driftwood … the way the sea smooths it. I also like collecting pieces of stone, glass and china that have been “sandpapered” by the waves. I brought a pice of driftwood home recently and intend to varnish it.
Linda Callaghan replied

thanks Dave..what a good idea to varnish this type of wood as it is all smooth….would need a big tin for this one! lol appreciate your feedback!

Very interesting painting Linda. I like the movement of the birds and the driftwood sitting in the water.
Linda Callaghan replied

thank you so very much for your comment…yes a bit of movement with the birds and the stillness of the driftwood are a contrast..thanks again.
