Very cool piece of work! Reminds me of the feeling I get when I look at 'Starry Night' by that famous artist who's name I'm spacing at the moment though shouldn't be able to. I'm an airhead like that.

I love this, it's not your typical beach scene. Great colors, you can almost feel the wind and salty spray

This is when you know art has really triumphed, you inspired ideas in the observer that made it an even more interesting piece - this is what I always say about art being a type of telepathic language. You have an ethereal mind and a great touch with the paintbrush.

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I love letting the artwork lead its own life after I've finished with it. Started out so simple, then Simanion reminded me of such a great story my Dad likes to tell. He has a knack for seeing fantastical things in my art - its always wonderful reading comments like yours and his. Thank you!

It looks like there are killer whales in the sky! I love your approach to this, it makes an ordinary scene seem like magic.
