My World - the Beach - painted

Murrays Bay, Auckland, NZ

My world revolves around the sea.
I live only 50 steps from the beach and each day I always look out to see what is happening out there on the water
Today, it is windy with a few showers. The tide is in, and the waves are hitting the walkway under the cliff
I decided to "PAINT" this image, using TOPAZ 'Painterly Colour"

Here is another photo taken at the same time - showing the natural colours:

Canon PowerShot S95
1/500s f/4.0 at 12.8mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

You are so lucky. This is so well done.

with the use of the paint program you created a very romantic landscape, almost European!

Wonderful scenic of this rugged coast line. Your world is very beautiful.

The painting tool has worked really well. I love living beside the sea and at this stage I don't think I'd like to live
inland.

Janice, the painted version is sensational! Hope we're going to see more as the month progresses!

What a lovely scene and how wonderful to have the sea so close!!

Beautiful scene!

Just beautiful!! I enjoyed "painting" my photos for the October challenge. It doesn't always work for just any image. When you paint, you really depend on a strong composition. This is perfect. BV

I like your dramatic interpretation of the scene.
