A potential buyer may see his own sail in there!<br /><br />How saleable would a becalmed picture of sail boats be? Is that something a boat's owner would want to be reminded of? If not, don't waste your time at this point in your career. <br /><br />I love the horizon line paintings. Just the calm (yes, be sure to separate the horizon from the sea (light,light,dark, dark or vice versa). I can appreciate the serenity of the one with the suggeston of the far harbor buildings, and the few white caps in the foreground. <br /><br />Good idea to show just a few whitecaps leading out to sea---would it be whale tracks? The Loch Ness monster? Who could say!!!<br /><br />I'm not going to edit this so if you need clarification, if something I said doesn't make sense, email me.

Great suggestions, and yes I would love to paint it again in different colours. I like the suggestion of the boat on the horizon line too. <br /><br />When I took this photo, and a few more with it, be were in dying wind. Within 5 minutes we were becalmed for an hour or more.. I am going to paint a becalmed picture too..JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887267456749263715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-78184771084017834162009-05-26T09:12:48.832+10:002009-05-26T09:12:48.832+10:00Pictures don't look the same on different monitors...Pictures don't look the same on different monitors, for sure. If I look at this on the desktop computer, it is a lot different. The foreground is darker and the background lighter than on my laptop.<br /><br />You will just have to take my word that it looks fine.<br /><br />I am covering the horizon with sails so it is a moot point anyway. :DJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887267456749263715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-49514321658022934792009-05-26T00:25:37.637+10:002009-05-26T00:25:37.637+10:00It's looks a little lighter...if it's lighter in p...It's looks a little lighter...if it's lighter in person, my monitor isn't showing it atm. ;)Reehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304330794822181767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-67584620106809525582009-05-26T00:23:20.847+10:002009-05-26T00:23:20.847+10:00Beautiful JJ .....it looked good before but it loo...Beautiful JJ .....it looked good before but it looks even better with the lighter horizon .....<br />I want to paint water like that ......Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493518674133085652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-86498901355447699152009-05-25T23:51:59.182+10:002009-05-25T23:51:59.182+10:00What do you think now?
