Just gorgeous! I would give my eye teeth to be able to paint a seascape like this, Edith.

Yes John, I was approx 6 to 8 feet above, perched on a rock when I took the photo ref for this painting.... any closer and I would not only have had wet feet, I would have been soaked!  There is no hard and fast rule about wave height, or anything else for that matter, it all comes down to perspective [as you say, it  depends on where you are standing and the horizon line versus the object].

Happy painting!

My type of picture great movement the eye could be a little more open and fuller with the light blue sky colour in it . love it tho Edith.  i'm always being told the height of the wave should brake the sky line but i'm not sure about that would only do that if i was at sea level. you are a little above eye level looking down on the wave ?

thank you Deb, Patricia and John - all comments are much appreciated.  John, what are your feelings about the eye of the wave? Let me know and I'll get back to you.

Warmest regards to all!
