Holy crap, the first painting is so good. I looked at it for awhile trying to see all the details. You're always improving on your work. I want to see more. @_@
The beach is so calm, I think you captured the setting well in both the first and second oceanic creations.
I like the elegance of your trades too, wish I had something worth contributing to do one as well.
The gif animation is particularly great, I just love what you did with the lighting effect. I want to see more of these too
