Beautiful colours. The water looks like silver, everything is delicate, the mood is peaceful. Wonderful atmosphere at the end of a bright, sunny day!

Voilà! The whole long wave, as it rolls steadily to the shore. You may notice that the colours are different than in the individual posts, and actually here they are more like the original, quite accurately so even. I simply didn't manage to capture the right colours when I took the individual photos.

This is the first part of a triptych I have been working on over the last few days.
Looks easy, but no, not for me. This was a difficult piece of work!

I'm quite happy with this one. After the very graphical, linear subject from yesterday, I enjoyed painting the more organic shapes here.

For those of you who are getting bored by the waves, here's something a bit different for a change...

There's not much wind anymore, so the waves are considerably smaller and calmer. It's soothing to walk along the shoreline and listen to their endless ripple.

The occasional reflections of the waves, when the water in front of them is fairly still, is what I like best. Here it was perfect.

Wish you could hear the sound that came with these waves. You really become aware of the force of nature!!

I am gradually getting fascinated with painting waves, so you can expect to see more of them here. These two "balls" looked at if they were racing eachother, hence the title.

The weather is windy which supplies me with wonderful big waves like this one. Well, not really THAT big, but for someone like me who lives in the countryside they're quite impressive as they are.
