6 x 8 Acrylics SOLD This is my submission for the challenge of Karin Jurick site different strokes from different folks. I had a hard time adjusting the colors on my computer, it's still not perfectly accurate with the colors, because if you change something the whole thing changes. This is what makes the challenges so great you're practicing in all areas.

Nice job Dominique. You got to work fast after your trip. I too had problems with capturing the true colours...blues and purples seem to be the big problems for me.
Hey Vern , Thanks . Yes my picture is a bit more aqua/green overhaul but that will do for now.
Beautiful painting, You really captured the reflections on wet sand and the feel of the waves and turf! Great Painting!
Adebanji,
It's so interesting how one changes when we try through our fears. I know a year ago I would not have done something like this. Painting is still a struggle for me but seeing Claude Monet's work in Paris gave me more courage and being part of DSFDF.
Thank you, give a hug to Ruth.
This is a great job. The colors are amazing an dthe reflections are superb.
Love it!
Thanks Irit, I'm trying to shed my fears !
Great job, Dominique. I love the beautiful range of colors in it. Well done!
Thank you Edward. You always make people smile !
Oh! The pinks and blues! And the greens and the purples! So much more inviting than the original photo!
p.s., Thanks for your kind comments on my rant; and I just remembered: the misspeller is the same one I had the bad dream about! Go figure!)
Just love the showy sky and beautiful surf! Beautiful entry :D
This is a fantastic painting. I love the colors.
Thanks for visiting me, I enjoy hearing from you.
R, Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment.
PS: Interesting the connection.
Lee, Thank you for coming by and leaving this note.
Wow Dominique! Looks like the London trip re-energized your creative mojo. Maybe you can take the next trip as a tax deduction. Now I have to start on my challenge submission.... Argh.
Peggy, Thanks for your comment I appreciate it too.
Thanks Sheila , I will have to think about that tax deduction, good idea ! I'm looking forward to yours.
Oh my, when in the world did you have time to paint? Your painting is beautiful and I happen to like the colors just as they are. Well done!
Yes, the beast is the real thing! Go back and click on it to see it up close. WIth those very long and sharp horns, he kept turning his head aiming them at me. The rancher just told me to push his horns out of the way, easier said than done.
Thanks Angela for your comment on my picture.
I don't know if I would of had the courage to sit on that animal ,wow pretty impressive.
WOW! I absolutely love your rendition! The waves and reflections are so detailed, and the figures are just suggestive - how'd you do that? Excellent!
DEB, Thank you I've been working on trying to let go !
excellent play between cool and warm!
Celeste, Thank you I enjoy playing !
Very nice handling of reflection and waves. Great job on the bathers too. Love your colors, especially in the foreground.
Wow, Dominique...you did a super job with this one. Splendid. And you have an award waiting...coffee's on.
Carol, Your the master painter I appreciate your comment very much I'm trying more to just do not think too much.

Thanks Shelley.
Dominique, the colors you put in this are beautiful...the wet sand, stunning!
Dana, coming from a master painter means a lot thank you.
Beautiful work on the challenge, this is one of my favorites. I just LOVE the wet sands, they look so real and wet. Nice job on the clouds as well.:)
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Nithya, Thank you I appreciate you stopping by and your welcome.
Your colors are what grabbed my attention on this painting. Nice job!
Maria, thank you for your comment
I love the colors in your painting. If you want the ability to adjust colors according to hue, download the free version of photoshop called GIMP. I love it and it's not that difficult to learn. There's several tutorials on www.EmptyEasel.com.
Thanks Carol, That's so nice I appreciate this.
I love the colors in your painting! The pinks in the sky and sand! and The blues and greens in the water/sand. Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you Karen , I did enjoy doing this challenge.
The colors are fabulous and the brushwork so loose and beautiful! Love your work.
This painting is filled with happy energy — from the brush strokes to the beautiful spots of color. Very nicely done!
Thank you Barb, It is nice to see all the different renditions
Christine, thank you I appreciate you coming by.
A beautiful interpretation--I love your sand and the reflections in the shallow water; and the way you have painted the sky is just lovely--pure summertime!
Laura, thank you so much I appreciate your comment
Lovely warm colors, Dominique! Great loose strokes! Bravo!
Thank you Dean.
So it sounds like you had a great trip. I like your plage painting a lot, what you have to do next is quadrupe the size
What a great surprise to read your note Pierre. Yes your right a bigger piece would be good. Maybe I'll do that and yes I had a good time on the trip.
Love the reflections and all the colors. Your paintings always have lots of energy. Sounds like a great trip, too!
Super energetic painting - I especially love the rose-kissed clouds. I am also struggling with photography a bit - getting out the glare - so at least I am not alone. See you again on DSFDF.
Conniep, thank you and yes I did have a great time on the trip too and am working on sketches of it on Dancing Strokes
Anne, Thanks for stopping by .
Beautiful painting! I love the pinks and the values you used in the foreground especially! Looking forward to seeing more of your work, too.
Katherine, Thank you. I enjoyed your watercolor which I think are much harder to do than this.
Doninique-your painting is beautiful. I like the "artistic editing" of leaving the man out. Nice seascape. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
