Wonderful, Dirk.

I love the contrast created by the opaque breaking wave and white spray on the one side of the main rock and the hollow translucent green wave on the other. It gives the melody line to the consistent bass beat of the giants.

Very strong painting full of energy and vigour, that little bit of light in the wave is perfection.  very nice paint indeed Dirk

A sense of foreboding. Love the intensity of the tones...dark, and moody...great!!

Thanks guys. Pre mixing the greys i found was a great way to key the painting in to a dominant value plus help everything stay to the mid values.

Mr. Rampling, very, very nice job on this painting!!!  Great repetition of shapes with your rocks ..but different enough to create variety...nice!   Nice muted color harmony and your translucent wave is very tastefully painted ...using the grays to give the color its vibrancy ..nice!  Anyway, love the painting ..good job.

I'm there!  Love the green (light passing through the breaker and the orange ribbon [very authentic]). Another good one Dirk. The smells, the sound, the feel of the air........... !
