"Sherbet Sky Mighty Ocean?" Acrylic 20" x 30" Canvas


I love Vincent Van Gogh so much!
Two ocean paintings in less than a week!  I so love painting the ocean and the sky! I thought adding colors hardly ever used by me would kick it up a notch!
I hope it is liked!

Thought it would be fun to see this piece on my porch.

    It's beautiful! And very nicely composed! Showing it in relation to other objects was a good idea, the size makes it even more stunning to see. I was just reading about Van Gogh earlier today. There are several versions of his life and the possible reasons he did the things he did. Interesting to speculate about, but it doesn't change the fact that his art is so influential to this day!

    Bonjour,

    Une manière comme une autre de dire que votre maison à les pieds dans l'eau... J'aime la photo également car sur celle-ci vous apparaissez dans la vitre c'est comme si vous émergiez de votre propre océan...
    Une très jolie peinture aux couleurs explosives.

    Gros bisous.

    Oh, how I love that pink sherbet sky! So unexpected and beautifully exposed above those roiling waves! I love seeing the painting on your porch - it gives us a glimpse of how large and magnificent it truly is! And glad to see you are ready for fall with the lovely mums and plump pumpkin! Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year!

    Hi Michael, I always like to view your paintings in full view in order to enjoy them better. Beautiful, fresh approach with the pink sky, textures and the powerful movement in the waves! The colors combinations vibrate! The porch pictures is a great idea and I can see you in there too!

      Ciao Celia!
      Thank you for visiting my little blog! I so appreciate your insightful and supportive comments Celia! I am happy that you use full view to check out my work! I also do that! I love to see the brushstrokes, colors and so much more magnified from our fellow art bloggers' works! Your comments today made me so very, very happy! I am humbled by your wonderful words! Grazie! Smile on my face that you noticed me in the window's reflection. I hadn't noticed that until you and another blogger mentioned it! Thank you my wonderful Italian watercolorist!

    WOW! Michael this is stunning!! I love the colours you have chosen - they work so well together! The pink sky is glorious, particularly so where it meets the light blue waves in the right hand corner. Although it is hard to be particular as it is all fantastic!! I love all the colourful highlights in the waves as well. The title is absolutely perfect for the painting. Love it! You really have a very special style with your ocean paintings Michael. I could see a great series of them in these gorgeous bright colours which begins with this one and your previous one.
    So nice seeing it on your porch with your pumpkin and flowers, and to see the dimensions of it.
    Good work Ocean!!!
    Your art cobber Wendy

    Good morning Celeste!
    Great to hear from you my friend! "Gorgeous!" is such a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much! I am so happy you like my work. All my painting time is done alone! Hearing from you and other bloggers is such a thrill! Nice to know there are people "out there" who enjoy art!
    You are right about the painting being on the porch. Maybe we should have a "porch painting day!" Imagine all over the world works of art on peoples' front porches! Smile!
    Take care my friend!
    Michael

    Rock and Roll! What else can I say. This is explosive, like waves crashing together!
    I don't really use pink in my work but like it in the work of others, here it does work.
    @ Susan... mums the word ; )
    Autumn... season of the pumpkin, go pumpkin go!

    Keep painting...
