Don, these are just wonderful. I'm enjoying them all day as my background on the computer. It's amazing what air and light and feeling you can pack into a 6" x 6" square. Thanks.
You've got the subtlety in both of these water paintings. Love the brush strokes on the edges of the waves. Masochist? I knew there was a reason I liked you ;)
Ha, right Mary! I think all us artists must be a bit masochistic. Why else would we choose a career that offers so many ways to be rejected? :) Thanks for the nice thoughts.
Again, you have a done a wonderful job on the colors in the water. They are so calming. I am fascinated with the light dancing on the waves. How do you get those colors?
Hi Kim--thanks for the comment. I arrive at my colors mostly hit and miss--I just mingle combinations until it seems right. With these subtle tones it's more a question of warm or cool.

Don,
Just keep up that masochistic trait. You made the ocean look so perfect. The indistinct non color that it is. Wish I was there!

Nel, thank YOU--what a nice compliment!
Hi Mary--thanks, I'm glad you feel I caught something of that non-color color. Trying to do that is exactly what drives me crazy.
