Like it Stuart,
This critical grumpy old man was not aware of the falling horizon, but bent my knees to prepare for the surf. This makes it a good painting in my book, not many paintings exercise me.
Is this a deliberate clever trick or just an accident?

Thanks Adriana, I got carried away on the shadow patterns and didn't notice my horizon line drooping on the left..  Glad I got the warm sunny feeling across.  Stu

Stuart, I enjoy your movement of the water and waves, so natural and convincing. Also the change of the color temperature of the ocean are very well done. The color contrast between the ocean and beach has been quietly and softly done. You successfully use a suggestive way to show those surfers riding the waves. cute!!  This painting has an overall harmony in color. Everything just in their right place. I consider you are very good at perspectives. And you keep it to the end of your work. It is not easy for me.  I am sorry that I failed to vote this one before the deadline. I just grabbed a computer 1 hour ago. Hope to see you for the coming workshop.

Thanks Richard.  I noticed the horizon after I had posted and decided to leave it.  Wish we could edit and repost without cluttering up the site.   Stu
