Winter arrived so suddenly that I have stopped going to !Khwa Ttu until we have warmer weather again. This is what the ocean is looking like at the moment. Every day of my life I can just go outdoors and stare at it, but from one day to the next, it never looks the same.
I hope you can see the tranquil pool in the foreground where the water meets the beach.

A lovely and dramatic sea view, Marie! The powerful waves combine with your rendering of the bleak (but not off-putting) sky to convey an impression of chilly, or even cold, weather. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Marie. The ocean is ever changing. When I display all my seascapes together, the colors differ in each one and so does the mood of the sea.
ReplyDeleteThe permanent feature of the ocean is the way it keeps changing every minute and the endless waves keep you transfixed! I can feel the cool breezy air and the chill water here!
ReplyDeleteWow, Marie, this one speaks to me. The cold, the movement in the surf, the sunset - I could not stop staring at it. I can feel and in my imagination see how the light changes on the horizon and the surf break.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie , this is a beautiful seascape . It conveys the power of the sea at this time of the year...it is cold here in Australia too..Brrrrrr
ReplyDeleteStunning colors Marie. I so love the ocean, so tempestuous at times, so serene at others...

Thank you, Anita. I'm happy when I succeed in what I set out to do! I have not seen you on blogger for a while, I will visit your blog to see how it's going!

Thank you, Sherry! I cannot agree more!
My post had suddenly disappeared. But I have saved the comments I had on e-mail, then cut and pasted them here.
(It's OK, they went into the blogspot black hole. Scheduled maintenance went wrong but it should all be back, soon.)
ReplyDeleteIt shows up in my Google Reader, but when I click on it, it comes here! I know your pleasure of just standing and looking at the ocean every day, it's something I could NEVER tire of! this painting is great Marie, beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane and Maree, I managed to save everyone's comments!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Maree. One can just stare, bu I am not always sure of what I see, and must try the scene again and again. Thank you for your comments!
Oh Marie, this is just beautiful. You can feel the kind of day it is.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks, Barbara. The real painting looks quite good if I have to say so myself. But then again, it is important to go on and on and look closer each time!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful seascape Marie, it takes me right there to that still pool with the cold sea crashing behind it. I'm sorry to have been so scarce for so long - enjoyed catching up on the fascinating !Khwa Ttu posts. I'm so thrilled to see there is still wonderful art being produced there!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cathy! I have been admiring your college work, and it makes me feel like going for more tuition with some great artist. I can only imagine how stimulating it is for you! Thank you for doing some "back reading" on my blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the lovely comments at my blog. I love to browse at your blog to. One day we must swap paintings. I love your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Thea! I love that idea. Will you choose one of my paintings that you like? Then we can start planning the swop? People go to Pretoria from here on a regular basis! Looking forward to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteA true beauty, Marie!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linny!
ReplyDeleteSo then....the original post went missing and never returned! But I replaced it and all the original comments came back!!!! I think it is time to post something new!
