Morning Wave

It's so nice to be able to paint without having to finish a painting every day.  I'm glad that I participated in the '30 paintings in 30 days' challenge but I must admit, it wasn't for me.  As I've said before, I really admire the daily painters that can stick to that grueling schedule but I need to be inspired by a subject in order to paint it and inspiration doesn't hit me every single day.  Also, I'm a pretty slow painter which doesn't work with that daily schedule.  It was a good learning experience and I feel like I did learn a lot so I'm glad that I participated, but would I do it again?  NO!

I'm really enjoying painting waves.  I think I'll do a series of them for awhile.  This one is a watercolor with some acrylic added at the end to soften some of the edges and add a bit more spray.

    Nancy you are the master of sea-scapes! This is stunning!
    Congratulations on doing the challenge and creating such beautiful work. I did last year's September challenge and found it gruelling but very rewarding. It felt way too soon to do the January one as well.
    Love your work!

    You know, if it wasn't for cold water temps, fish and creatures, and salt...I could be in the ocean or sea 100% of the time. I do so love the water, its movements and moods, colors...This is breathtaking, Nancy.

    Think there so good composition with all the power and action centered, th calm around the storm. Like the abstract patterns in the wave. Really nice Nancy

    Not your ordinary wave - fragile and lovely - the abstract patterns add a unique rhythm - another beauty! Congratulations on completing the challenge - your pieces are super but, I agree, would be too stressful for me!
