Garrita del Diablo
16 x 20 canvas, acrylics. From El Morro series, a close up of the little sentry fort where guards would be posted to look for ships that were going to attack. C&C's welcomed.

Re: Garrita del Diablo
Triple Wow! The clouds are excellent. You are getting better and better with each painting I see. This one almost has a 3D effect with the fort in the midground.

Re: Garrita del Diablo
Continued great improvement in your work Tony. We're all very proud of what you've accomplished. This is just another example of how much you've grown. Congratulations!
C&C? Not much...just a note to set the background values down a bit and blur that sharp horizon line slightly.
Great painting!
Byron

Re: Garrita del Diablo
Very nice job, Tony. I'm guessing the canvas is titled, making the horizon tilt, right?

Re: Garrita del Diablo
Mooz: Thanx for the comments!
Perel: Thanx for looking!
Nat: Appreciate the comments!
Laudesan: Your comments inpire me to keep painting! Thanx!
Byron: Thanx so much for your input......I've learned so much from you here and still learning! Will remember to soften that horizon for future art. Great advice. As a musician I know the value of practicing a song until it's perfect, so I'll keep practicing until I get the perfect wave!
Gillette: Thanx for your encouraging comments!
Marty: Thanx for the comments and input. I see what you saw and checked the painting for a straight horizon. It's straight but, lately I've been having some anamolies happen when I photograph the art, looks like I used a wide angel lens ( I didn't ) and somehow distorts the horizon, weird! Maybe I'm taking the pic too close? I also noticed that on some other ref pics I have of the sea, seems to curve the horizon slightly. Any suggestions would help thanx!
Frank: Thanx so much for your comments!
Carl: Thanx for the comments and for looking, appreciate it.......TJ

 Your depiction of the stonework on the sentry fort is outstanding. Very beautiful!

Manny: Thanx for the comments, I was looking for aging on that part! I saw your art of Cuba, I don't know if you lived there or not but, they have the same structures there too. btw your painting was great! Looks very much like PR.
