GAAAAH!!

What an incredibly intruiging composition!
Normally I'd though we'd see 2/3 ocean and 1/3 land, here it's the opposite.

I think the two beaches form shapes that contrast in size but also helps the totality of the image.

There is extremely much life to it, objects everywhere make my eye wander a lot, though my sight is moslty focused on the ocean and the right beach.

Thanks buddy. It was amazing to me too. All of these locations are in Western Australia, three thousand miles from where I live. I was fortunate enough to spend a few weeks over there recently. Thanks heaps for the faves. And for the deviant watch.

I've heard it's been terrible over there - but even as far north as you are?

yeah... we have both sides of the extremes in winter and summer.

it's really great in the spring, though!

It's a bit milder here. I still don't like winter even if it is mildish.

I love the composition in this. The rocks actually gave out the texture that I can actually feel the art itself, its like im there. Great work on this one

*hehehehe*

We only use water colors right now, but I'm trying to get my oldest into using acrylics. She really wants to use them, I'm not to sure if I'm ready for that.

Go for it. . . Our house is covered in so much paint. . . That's what carpets and furnishings and walls and ceilings are for isn't it?
