Thank Charles for your further explanation. I will do some study from other artists work to understand seacape better.

I think a more apt description than fluidity is translucency; i.e., capturing the atmospheric light and background colors coming thru and reflecting in the water and spray.

Hi Charles, many thanks to you for your comments and suggestions! I agree with about the edges. I could soften it more. It will apply to my next coast paintings!

Laura, you have captured the vastness of the cliffs and the ocean and the pensive nature of the moment.  The water and spray in this and the next painting convey moment but don't convey fluidity.  Could be the edges are too hard where the water meets the beach or spray the cliff or value/color transitions.  Might look at some masters' paintings to compare how they handled the water and the spray.
