Thanks. We can so easily be accused and still be innocent, these days, hey!

Lovely to hear from you again.

Yes I live in South Africa.. Johannesburg.

So glad you understand how imagination works. Very few people do. To create something you have to start somewhere!

Hi, I'm surprise that you noticed my post, since your own blog site shows you don't post much yourself. Hope you still enjoy your popcorn. Sorry I can't give any off my peach tree. We no longer live there.

Next time you see some paintings, check what I've said on this post. And take note of what your reaction has been to what you felt when you looked at the paintings. It will be an interesting exercise I'm

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

And the experience was amazing too. That's why I had to paint something of the place, specially after having the adventure of climbing in between and over rocks to take photos of the place too.

Have you ever noticed, rich people never clutter their homes!

The tick to make paintings look exciting and appealing is to play warm colours against cool colours.

I think artists are tuned in emotionally to see beauty, even in the most ordinary places, hey?!

Part of the secret of making scenes moody, is to blur most of the scene, except for the main points of interest.

But what did you think of the sea and it's mood?

I have been around. Posting presently mostly on art tag.

Love the way you picture yourself there too. I love exploring the seashore whenever we are down by the sea.

New artists tend to try too hard to make their paintings perfect. But once they loosen up, their work starts to look better.

The inter play and shapes of the of white foam gives that effect of moving water.

You are welcome to borrow how to paint sea water.

As authors we were getting really discouraged, especially if you had put a lot of hard work and effort into your posts. Now it's better with HF21. Thank those who put it into place.

Thanks for the compliments. But talent grows with constant application. Enthusiasm takes you a long way.
