What a beautiful job with the waves.

Wonderful surf Cathyann...hope it cools soon!

Teresa said...

I love this! The open, airy, beachy feel... I can almost smell the salt air!

AutumnLeaves said...

My goodness, Cathyann! You've so beautifully captured the color and translucency of these ocean waters. I am absolutely mesmerized!

Susan Roux said...

Wonderful colors and action! Great job.

Marie Theron said...

How that spot of yellow grabs the eye! The waves here today are the opposite of yours: they are not calm and serene but foamy, angry and fast!

Fresh, cool, living water simply beckons one to dive in. Light play and motion create a desire to act on the part of the viewer. One gets pulled into the surf. Now that is power.

Like the painting. The waves are handled very well.

I can hear the crashing waves and taste the salty spray. I love this painting.

Diane Hoeptner (hep-ner) said...

Yes, I like how the light is especially bright going through that bucket. Nice job, Cathyann.

Cathyann said...

Vern, Karen, Dana and Teresa, thank you!!

Cathyann said...

Sherry,Susan, Marie and charlie, I appreciate so much the kindness in your comments. Makes my day.

Cathyann said...

Diane and Suzanne...I especially appreciate your praises.
Thanks a bunch, everyone!. This was a difficult painting with those waves...and a good challenge for light. The image captured me so, for that reason...the translucency of the light in the bucket. It was like a jewel shining against the greens of the water and the reds of the skintones. I am glad it lives for you all.

Those waves are screaming my name. I love how you captured the water, light and yellow bucket.

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, there's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza a hole.

Sorry, your painting made me burst into a Harry Belafonte song.

Cathyann said...
