Oil paint drawn and inspired by an original photo. Canvas size is around 40x50cm, can't directly find the link to the original owner of the original photo, but I've met the man in real and mails have been sent so I had the permission to use his photo.
As always with a photo of an oil paint it doesn't look exactly like it, but that doesn't matter I guess.
Meh, don't have mucht to say about it now, so enjoy.
Oh yeah, and the light dots in the water is from the reflection of the light, no the water is dry, but still it reflects the light.

Amazing strokes, it's good to see some oil paintings sometimes.
Anyway, I'd like to criticize something, if you don't mind, and it's the colour you've used for the hills in the background. That orange stands out more than the boats, becasue is too eye-catching. I suggest you to mix that orange with a bit of burnt sienna and maybe some emerald green, or at least to make it colder. Abother thing that distracts the view is the water and sky, they usually don't have the same tones, so I suggest you to use lighter tones, because you've already used dark colours on the boats and too much black causes the artwork to be tedious.
Anyway, great work there. Keep it coming.
