A quick seascape. I approached it with a more impressionistic technique to get a more fun look. I love it when clouds look extgremely pink!

Ah, cool! the clouds remind me of Turner?-- all of those bright colors and bold sunsets. This is beautiful; well done!!

~contrabassoon Jul 11, 2011

well, thank you for the compliment. I like his work very much.

~vincentludwig Jul 9, 2011

This is so beautiful. The colours and brushwork are perfect. It looks like the work of an old impressionist master

~contrabassoon Jul 9, 2011

Thank you so much. I certainly looked back at the impressionists for inspiration.

~vincentludwig Jul 9, 2011

you captured the technique well, especially with the sky. I love impressionist paintings

~contrabassoon Jul 9, 2011

Thanks. I love them as well. I've always found it easier to approach art with a loose, painterly touch. It just comes more naturally. I would love to learn the secrets of hyperrealism. It's completely mystifying to me how paint can make a canvas look like a photograph.

~vincentludwig Jul 9, 2011

I admire the technical skill in realism but i always think you might aswell take a picture, for me theres no soul in it. I like something with a more personal touch and that looks more painterly. Great work, keep it up

~contrabassoon Jul 9, 2011

I know what you mean.
I certainly like to have fun with the paints and see what comes out of it.
And thanks c:
