I really like the composition of clouds in the sky and I can see the range of depth. I think you captured the serene feeling too, it's a cool painting.

O..M..G..

Lol, my exact reaction when I saw this painting!
This is amazing! Everything looks beautiful, and what makes it even more amazing to me is that sunsets were always (and still are) hard for me to do, and painted this one so.....*lack of words* I really need to start using reading the thesauras again.
Anyways, what I'm pretty much saying is...this is awesome!

Gorgeous seascape!
Nice linear perspective. The use of serene colors gives this scene a peaceful mood.

I am going to take a drive to the beach this weekend. :

Thank you so much That's exactly the mood I was hoping to recreate.It was incredible to take in when I saw it.
Are you going to the beach to paint or relax? Although any reason is a great one for going to the beach,there's just something about the waves,the sky,the air and walking barefoot in the sand that really appeals to me.I hope you have great weather and thoroughly enjoy your drive to the beach.

Ravenhaven In reply to simplelines [2008-02-27 22:06:54 +0000 UTC]

You are very welcome!

I am taking my pastels with me, just incase the weather is good. But I am going mainly to relax and take reference photos. Even though the ocean is beautiful, it is sometimes hard to find the right area with a good composition.

simplelines In reply to Ravenhaven [2008-02-27 22:45:54 +0000 UTC]

Sounds like a great way to spend the day.That's true it can be hard to find the right area with a good composition especially if it's a lot of just straight ocean and beach.It's easier if there's a lot of variation in the coastline or rocks and driftwood but sometimes even the patterns in the sand left by the tide against the waves coming in can be an interesting composition.It would depend on what you are looking for and sometimes you just come across something that looks just perfect.The lighting,the colors and the scenery all just click and you know that's what you were looking for.I hope you find a lot to to photograph and sketch and if the weather is great a very relaxing time.Enjoy!

Ravenhaven In reply to simplelines [2008-03-02 07:39:12 +0000 UTC]

Well, I am having a great time. The day was too cool to go in the water so I spent it taking pictures. I hope the day is good tomorrow so I can do a few sketches.

I'm glad the weather was good for you to go to beach. and you're having a great time.Hope you got lots of great shots and you are able to do some sketching as well.Too bad it was too cool for swimming but still a relaxing way to spend the day.I'm happy you're enjoying it.

Yes, I is unfortunate. I am drinking my morning coffee, trying to come alive. LOL
Yes, just a few rough color studies.

simplelines In reply to Ravenhaven [2008-03-03 13:41:10 +0000 UTC]

I can relate to that,it might take a couple cups of coffee to be fully awake.I was painting until 3 in the morning.It's great the weather was good enough for you to get in some sketching.

Ravenhaven In reply to simplelines [2008-03-04 22:05:41 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it takes two cups for me to be able to come alive every morning. LOL

simplelines In reply to Ravenhaven [2008-03-05 01:16:40 +0000 UTC]

At least two to come alive and sometimes a third to get going!

taintedbrush In reply to ??? [2008-02-26 22:16:49 +0000 UTC]

Very good work.
I would love to see the yellows and oranges richer and less pastel and neutralized. It would make for a very dramatic sunset.

simplelines In reply to taintedbrush [2008-02-27 03:56:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the thought.With darker,richer colors it would make a dramatic painting and I may paint it that way one day,but I wasn't going for dramatic effect with this.I painted it as I saw and felt it.Peaceful, serene, calm.
