WDE 04.20.07 Rocky Beach
I had a little time in between chores today, and thought I'd try another one.
I think I'm going to go back to my acrylics, though.
They seem more "user-friendly" to me than oil paint does.
Thanks for looking.

Steve,
Like this one. The reflections, the distance in the sky and the stillness of the water. Reminds me of an early impressionist painting.

You did a lovely job on this, Steve! Looks like you handle the oils very well. But I agree with you that acrylics are more user friendly!

I like the chunky look of those palm trees, and those rocks. Nice sky!

I like everything on this painting! the reflections, the palm trees, the boats, the white fence, the texture on the rocks!!!
The whole painting rocks! Great job!!

This has a very nice calm feeling to it.

I particularly like the right hand side with the trees, rocks and reflections.
