There is a subgroup of very talented painters on this site called the artsy gang and they generously encourage and support me as one of the members. They find tutorials for us to follow and offer suggestions about technique and ways to improve. Just like with the regular 365 members there is never a hint of meanness from any of them.
This is a painting I did when I was doing the 30 Day challenge and I am just now getting around to posting it. It is almost an original and there are parts of it I really like but some part could definitely use some improvement. That is what practice is for isn't it?
wowza! lazy afternoon at the beach. for me this invokes long walks along the shore, waiting for the sunset and i could hear...damn seagulls! aces, girlfriend. aces!
It’s a beach… which means I automatically love it! The colors are soft but still vibrant and the gulls are mwah! 😘 Looks like @madamelucy and I have the same thought! 😊
Oh, this is so well done! The water is so watery, and tge sand so ... sandy. I love the contrast you managed in the three layers, as the sky is also so airy and thin.
Your practice surely improves your skills! Keep on practicing and enjoying the process!
I think the art of painting is knowing when to stop! I just can't do that and want to improve but it only looks contrived and not artistic! This is simply lovely! And of course, it looks better in a frame with glass on the front!

@summerfield @wyomingsis I think there is a photo of it somewhere. That was Hawaii wasn't it?
Nope, it was in the warm, Alabama, Gulf of Mexico waters! Plain black suits! These are the inadvertent Hawaii suits! https://365project.org/grammyn/365/2021-12-30
