This painting really appealed to me in the thumbnail but seeing it in this size, the unstructured texture of the sky – or what I interpret as the sky- seems to compete with the smooth, flowing lines of the sea. I find that jarring.
I hope you don’t mind a first time visitor to your blog being so frank. I liked the fact that you asked what we thought.
