*hands cookies*

Chocolate chip???

yes.

this is SO beautiful Dave... VERY well done...

Thank you! want one of my chocolate chips?

only if there's some peanut butter too :)

Turned out lovely. Great job. I like how the light shines through the sail a little.

Momma gets one of da cookies too.. wheee

.

Ah, it's beautiful...one of my favorite pieces of yours to date. The water has such a calming effect on me.

Thanks Dan...appreciate it

Sooooo beauteeful Poppa :) Been hoping you would do one at sunset like this and this is why! lol sooooo purdy. Wonderful job on a wonderful boat piccy :)

I love everything about this pic. The water looks great in there :D

Wow, this is beautiful! I love the colors, and the sail is so detailed---I can see the folds! The water is really well done, too.

wow did Icats give you cloud drawing lessons? very cool :)

The lighting on the water and the crispness of this picture are remarkable Dave. Your continued improvement is very inspirational.

Oh wow poppa, that's amazing. Love the oranges. There is one thing that bugs me however, i hope you don't mind me saying so, i think the sail looks kind of flat, but maybe it's just me.

Truely stunning, I would never be able to draw like this on the computer to save my life ^^;

pretterly...i love the orange and black, much more eye-pleasing and dramatic than plain ole blue sky/water. ^_^

Thanks you guys... HK...that's how the ref looked , too. theres a slight curve in the sail..as at sunset when the winds calm..

Not only is this the best sea-scape you have done to date, it's the best one ever done here, period. It's so bright and it gives of such a warm, serene feeling. Great job on that sail, too.

Wow..you like it that much? Dang.....thanks!

Yeah i love it just as much as DBA. ^.^

This is lovely ! Such detail on the boat, great job :)

FANTASTIC! it's so simple and you spent so little time on each portion, it just looks really amazing, especially the colors you used and the contrast between the boat and the sky and water... clouds are great too. very delicate.

i'm still amazed by the water...

Bloody Hell Poppa lol, Im amazed at how much u keep improving....this is Fantastic well done :)

Thank you Dazz! and Seky and nem..and Hk

i think the conservation of softness in this picture works really well
very nice

Well, Chocolate Chip cookies might motivate people to put more time into pictures. Very good. Interesting how you did the water.

Too late Walter..the chocolate chips didn't last. Thanks

Beautiful poppa! This picture makes me feel peaceful. Must be that nice yellow color :] The ripples, and sky are so pretty :]

Thanks star!

beautiful job on this one! I want to go sailing.

Thanks Mr Thug!

Wow, i want chocolate chips for spending time on picture, then i might decide if i want to spend more than 1 hour average on a piece. =P

How many chips=1 hour?

What a beautiful picture! The colors just make this one stand out! Now I want to go sailing. :)

come on..I know where the boats are! Thanks

Let me get my bikini and pack a lunch!

But..I gotta watch where the boat is goin! If you do that.....omg....

Hahaha...yer so funny...:D

Bloody hell!? Not a showcase? Well it should be. In my opinion anyway. :}
