Breaker Over Trow Rock

That's fabulous, Brian. I was going to start picking out the bits I especially like, but have concluded I like all of it...especially.

Thank you very much, Lew, for the very kind and generous comments. You put a smile on my face again and I'm really pleased you liked this version of Trow. Much appreciated. Bri

This is amazing - everything about it; nothing not to admire.

Fabulous Brian. I especially like the way the light falls from the top left hand corner onto the top of the foam and background wave.

Wow! Thank you very much, Heather and Carole, for the wonderful comments. Much appreciated. I've just been admiring your portrait gallery, Heather. Super work in there. There's just something about the sea that I find magnetic, Carole. You could paint the same scene a thousand times over and you'd end up with a thousand different points of view, and as many emotions. Best to both Bri

Impressive lighting. Really gives a sense of the sea.

Thank you very much, Stephen, for the kind analysis. Much appreciated and I'm pleased the lighting worked. Bri

Fab, Brian!

That sea is really lively... colours great.

It's a good size canvas Brian, wonderful result with some gorgeous waves and surf. Love the blue hues that you've achieved.

Thank you very, Margaret, Sylvia and Alan for the great comments. Always appreciated, as you know. It's hanging on my drying wall at the moment, Alan, and the size really does strike you. I'm looking at the foreground surf again and think some of it is a tad symmetrical. I'll look into it tomorrow. Best to all Bri

The transparent part of that wave is beautiful Brian. I love the sea!

Thank you very much for the kind comments, Marjorie. Appreciated. Yes, I love the sea too, finding it mesmerising, whether its calm or rough. Bri

Wow. Very powerful image.

Thank you very much, Dawn, for the kind comments. Appreciated. Bri

Another stunning piece Brian. ( I've always vowed never to use the word 'stunning' to describe a painting!) It must look even more impressive when viewed 'in the flesh.' The light is fantastic whilst the translucency of the wave as it's about to break is fabulous.

Thank you very much indeed, Russell, for the marvellous comments. I genuinely appreciate the analysis. I must admit that the size does make a difference, adding to the sea's power and presence. The backlit aspect helps to establish the illusion of bright light but I never know how its going to turn out until I'm nearly done. I think that's part of the fun; the wondering where the painting will take you. I'm delighted the transparent eye of the wave caught your attention and I appreciate you letting me know. No gulls in this one, though. Thanks again Bri

Wow this another magnificent seascape Bri, you are so good at these! I love the way the light comes in from the left and really lights up the sea. Marvellous! I see you have had a viral infection too. I've had it for about two weeks but I seem to be coming out of the tunnel now thank goodness. Hope you are on the mend too.

Thank you very much, Margaret for a great visit. Always appreciated. I hope you're feeling better too! It floored me but I never lost my appetite, (well, just a bit), so it wasn't flu. Still, I'm glad the worst is over. We've all had it in this household. Bring on the cream cakes! *smile* Bri

I’ve got wet feet!! Brian the complexity of the peaks and troughs of the surf is masterful, and as far as that translucent wave goes....well, perfection in my view.

How extraordinarily kind of you, Fiona. I'm really pleased you liked this painting and over the moon at the response the translucent wave is getting. Thank you very much indeed. Appreciated, as always. Bri

Excellent Brian, the foaming sea in the foreground is especially well painted.

Thank you very much for the super comments, Val. Delighted you liked the foreground sea because I nearly chewed my fingers off trying to get it right. lol Bri
