I like how you have chosen a focal point and this makes for a good composition.

You have achieved a real 3D feel with both of these- great work!

Thanks so much, Christine!

Thank you, Jo- I appreciate the kind words!

Thanks for that insight, Jade! So interesting- I live 5 hours south of Sydney on the coast. I love to paint beach scenes.

Thank you, Terri! Much appreciated!

Thanks so much, Sanlynn! Well, Grapes- your encouragement means a lot! Glad you enjoyed it, Jade! Thank you, Donna! The trick is to use videos that are high-res and then give enough visual info to get a good composition.

Summer is on its way here in Australia, so I thought I would paint a scene to celebrate. The inspo for this is I have been watching a lot of surfing videos- women on longboards. So the references I used are stills from the videos. oil on canvas 45cm x 75cm (18 x 30 inches)

This is great- I too love birds! I have just completed a series of Australian bird paintings with inks and watercolours. As an oil painter- I found it challenging, but loved the end result.

I do get a real feeling of the cold from this, Wayne- such good choice of colour.

This is a standout for the contrast and composition- well done Wayne!

I love them all. It appeals to the people-watching tendencies in me! I like the way that you have curated the shots. They tell a story of the place and human activities. The kids with the bubble and the group with walking sticks and wheelchair are exceptional. Beautiful compositions captured!

Thank you, MH! Wow- I am so glad you took a look, Sanlynn!

Beautifully done!
