I love painting water. Not only is turquoise one of my favorite colors (I have many favorite colors), but the texture of rough waves is fun to work with.
Audra, I like your use of texture. In your "Rocky Ocean Scene", I can't help wondering if smooth, flowing stroke in the sky would make the texture of the rocks and water stand out even more. Your waves are luscious & vibrant in all their wondrous texture. I can almost hear & feel the lapping of the waves.
Thanks for your comment! I've always painted my skies in a highly textured style--I think the reason I like to paint them this way is that it is unexpected. Though, if I had to paint this particular painting again, I would probably soften the strokes in the sky as you suggested...or perhaps change their direction or size.
