Lovely... I love panoramic views too and I think I have the perfect spot in my home for this beautiful artwork. I think I'll choose this one if I win. I know I will. Hahaha!

I'd like to be right there, seeing this in person :) Away from the 10F outside, warm and reading a good book, watching the waves and the colors of the water mix from turquoise to green to cobalt to ultramarine :) Beautiful painting and I love the long size.

This reminds me of being in the Caribbean. The size is perfect-just looking out onto the horizon.

Laura..
at first glance..oooh! thoughts of home where I'd love to be..on the Gulf beaches of the Florida panhandle..sugary white sands..crystalline emerald green/ turquoise waters..
You captured those thoughts of mine onto your canvas..another beautiful masterpiece by Laura!!

This one is lovely! It makes me want to be on a beach somewhere sipping cocktails and relaxing.

Laura-
Where would I like to be? On a small bit of acreage in the country. Out in nature. Preferably, with a small forested section on the property. Oh, and I am writing about it in my blog--that imaginary place in my mind! Love the picture today!

It was a great choice the horizontality of the paper to combine with the same horizontality of the proper horizon line, the sky is breath-taking! This us one of my favorite paintings actually, but there are more.

love the wash effect. it's tranquil, soft, soothing. we'd all like to be there.

Gorgeous. It makes me think of the Oregon Coast - except the water is never that blue in Oregon!

If I had a beach house (or if I was allowed to decorate my family's beach house!), I would have the bedroom in white and beige colors, with this print over the bed, so that it was the first thing your eye was drawn to in the room. It's so serene, and that's exactly how you should feel at the beach.

I love the panoramic view of this one....and the colors are gorgeous!

KaHolly said...

Laura, THIS is a view I see each and every day I am in residence on my little island! I LOVE THIS PICTURE! Well done!

Jill said...

this is beautiful - looks so peaceful and relaxing

Nancy said...

Dreamy! I like the size of this painting. The washed effect makes it dreamy. I feel like I am sitting on a beach by a lake. Love!

sebower said...

this is a great one to pair with the painting on day 11!

Right now, I'd like to be somewhere warm and sunny -- like the beach in your painting :-)

The long & narrow format is perfect for your horizon paintings. The shape really accentuates the beautiful seascapes :-)

I love this one, too. It's beautiful. Makes me wish I was at the beach now.

Diane said...

I would love this for my mantle. It's beautiful.
