Sails at Sunrise - in progress

Comments

Really enjoyed myself with this sky and its sea reflections; it's still some way from being finished but would love your feedback on how I might improve it. Thank you to those who do! Love and God bless, Andy 😃❤️🙏

A very dramatic sky Andrew, brilliant tones used. I feel the painting would benefit from a possible reflection of the blue tones you’ve added in the sky. Otherwise great work … 😊❤️🐕‍🦺

Thank you, Linda for that lovely feedback and I agree with you re the suggestion! Peace and much love; God bless 😃❤️🙏xx

Sunsets are notoriously difficult as I’m sure you know. It’s a great start, perhaps introduce more toned down background colours such as neutral warm greys etc - less of the vibrant reds, yellows and orange hues. I’m currently working on a feature for The Artist on this very subject, so I know how difficult it is to get the balance of colour and tone just right!

Spectacular Andrew but I’m inclined to agree with Alan as the more neutral colours would give greater emphasis to the vibrancy of the oranges, reds an yellows. Less is more but can’t wait to see the beautiful, end result. God bless Andrew 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌞🌞🌞🌞

Very vivid colours used here, Andy. The rising sun in all its glory looks beautiful. The red skies seem to be forecasting some bad weather in the offing. Would love to see more life, like birds setting off for their daily hunt for food. Perhaps even a couple of small craft too, going about their business. Otherwise another beautiful scene in the making🤗❤️🌹xxx

Thank you, Alan, for that brilliantly helpful feedback! I'll look forward to your article. Peace and love; God bless 😃🙏

Excellent! Turner would be proud.

Awesome sunset. Feel of the aurora if there had been a green ! Great colours. What is the medium: oils?

Thank you, Sunil for that great response and feedback; interesting thought re the aurora although I have already done one with orcas a few months ago, but an idea for the future! love and God bless 😃 🙏

I’ve always loved water, its movement, its colour, its power. I had the privilege of working as a hydrologist for nine years before ordination, necessarily but enjoyably observing the movement of water in full flow or even in floods. That was thirty years ago but my love for moving water has not…
