My views of the Atlantic Ocean continue to hold a fascination for me. I love the different shades of blues and turquoises that appear depending on the light quality.
These views are at the water's edge in Flatrock and Pouch Cove and I'm working out my pastel kinks with them. The subtleties of values is what makes water visually appealing and believable to me. Trying to capture that on paper isn't always successful. These are more of works in progress than finished pieces, as I feel my way through waves, foam and rocks in this medium.

You're really finding a niche with these which works well in terms of both use of media and aesthetics (do you know how many time my fingers didn;t want to spell that word!)
I love the delicate tracery of foamy veins in the wave on the second one, really well done
I'd happily give either of these pride of place on my wall. You've really captured the subtleties beautifully.
Lovely work Jeanette!

I'm having fun playing with shapes and colours with these pieces of surf Katherine. Its a bit like putting an ever moving puzzle together.
I like that one too Sarah. I still have more work to do on the first to get it to where I want it to be in terms of shapes and colours.
Water is endlessly interesting to watch or paint Julie. Thank you.
Thanks Ronelle/
that second one catches the tracery of foam around rocks and the swell beautifully
the shadow under the wave doesn't yet read as well in the first - but it's coming on nicely
I particularly love your exploration of these liminal area between land and water.
Me too. Your colors are used to a really great advantage!
I am enjoying your work and can see a lot of progress.
