I undertook the 4 above oil paintings within less than 48 hours. That's almost 3 times my painting level during my Epic Painting Project of last year!
They are all the ocean, as can be seen, very specifically, the same wave, as seen here (last image on page). What I was seeking was to see how the colours showed up, regarding choice.
So the bottom one is made with only blues, the one above that adds greens, the one above that adds yellows to blues and greens, and the last one adds purple, oranges, yellow, greens and blues. This last one is probably the weakest - but that's why I do this now, so as not to get stuck with some ugly-ass thing when the time comes to do it for reals. (this is still referring to a painting commission I received almost 6 months ago... wow!)
hope all have a groovy day!

All of them have great beauty, action and movement! My favorite and the one that I think retains the strength of the wave is the one with blues and greens, second from bottom as seen on the blog.
Just beautiful Alicia, I love waves, and you are so good at these!
Wow!!!!!!!!

great surges of waves, loving them all. Enjoy the weekend, happy PPF, Annette x
Wonderful! These are so powerful.
The ocean is so powerful and you have captured it here. Good to practice practice practice. :) As for your question about hummingbirds.. yes they do survive the cold. The Annas hummers, the ones with the pink around the necks, seem to NOT migrate from our area so we see lots of them. Other types are gone by cold weather.We also have tons of other little birds and big birds around we feed. But once one starts feeding its good to keep it up as they come to depend on it. HPPF
That work is full of glorious enegy and looks an awful lot like the bay looks here today as it is being whipped up by the remnants of a hurricane... great paintings xx
Impressive. A beautiful waves.
W.O.W. Fabulous work, the waves are so real I could almost hear the surf.
Great job!
Excellent. You captured the wave - movement and all - very well. I think I like the last one (blues only) best. What great experiment and perseverance !
Wow, great energy and movement, very strong and beautiful images! You have captured the force of nature wonderfully! Love these!
Wow your ocean waves leave me speechless! They are brilliant!

It has great strength and personality your work. Saludos
I love the power and movement in the waves and the different effects you achieve by varying the colors. Happy PPF
I agree with all of the above comments, wonderful paintings, but i still love the just blue one too! It has just as much drama! The third is my favorite
Such wild and passionate waters, beautiful!

HPPF Friend:)
Love how you have painted the waves, and the deep colours. Watching waves is one of my fave pastimes! Valerie
wonderful paintings alicia! What awesome energy! Great work!
The waves all give me the impression of heavy winds and storms. Living near the sea, but seldom out there, when winds are THAT heavy!
Good "training" method to do it on these wood peaces!
Happy PPF
