Seaside - now completed at post #27
Im not a lover of Seascapes, but I live with these scenes all around me. I did this mainly as a quickie to use an old frame and to add to my Market Collection.
Personally I find them boring....... Is this Boring?????
Any suggestions to liven it up...

Re: Seaside
I was considering some seagulls, but just might sign it and frame now.
Soos and Bhavan, Thank You both for your comments and appreciation

Re: Seaside
I don't think it is boring either. I love those foreground grasses by the way.
A seagull or two would not be a bad idea but I would make them very small and just over the sea in the distance.

Re: Seaside
Yes a very peaceful scene! But I must agree that perhaps a couple of boats/birds flying might balance it out just a bit. Beautiful colors.

Re: Seaside
The consensus seems to be it needs something - your choice though. Just go for it |

Re: Seaside
Lovely Megs, I think a bird or two like a seagull flying or a small sailboat.
very serene!

Re: Seaside
A nude female beachcomber walking by would perk it up.

I have decided to go with a sail boat and birds as is the general thought...

Blue your a darling (notice today I like you, tomorrow well who knows  )
Hope to get to it tonight and will repost later.
