You certainly got the storm there. I like the menacing broodiness of this with its angular abstract feel; vaguely thirties with bold and strong colours to match. It packs a punch in my opinion.

its a powerful painting satu

Such a strong image Satu, I love this one!

Full of drama Satu. Sorry, not been around much lately so I've missed a lot of your paintings All up to your usual high standard but I particularly like Seabird.

Thank you very much Gudrun, Dennis, Louise and Val for your comments! Always appreciated!

This is such a strong and dramatic painting, but it also has a great sense of design and colour. Really love it.

I totally agree with the above comments, Satu: very strong and dramatic painting!

Thank you very much Thea and Mia!

Can only repeat.... this is so dramatic. I think the dark values give it an ominous feeling. A brilliant piece.

Thank you very much Avril!

I think the darkness adds menace to the storm - the sails lit as if by lightning. It has a really stormy and brooding atmosphere - good job Satu!

Thank you so much Julie!

Only just spotted this one and agree with all that's been said.

Based on a video clip I tried to create a stormy sea with two sailors struggling with sails. I had to paint it twice because the first version was too tame and light. Now it is probably too dark( darker than in this photo) but I think I got the storm there at the end. Acrylic on MDF 50cm x 60xm.
