Happy New Year Steemers!
What a year it has been and as I reflect upon my art journey over the last year I bring to you my best studio paintings that I created in 2017.
All of these paintings took a long time to paint and required a lot of prior planning from photos, sketches and colour studies prior to the finished art works. I have learned a lot this year about colour, tone, composition and achieve a depth dynamic in my paintings. I have a long way to go, but 2018 is going to be even better.
Here are my best studio paintings of 2017, all are painted in oils.

Your seascapes are really beautiful! Well all your paintings look amazing, I just have a particular fondness for seascapes as I miss being closer to the beach :)
Wonderful job. You have an incredible ability Congratulations

Here's my favourite, you didn't include it but I like the tall rocks on the right as well as the sea. Don't know its title.
Thanks @deemarshall, I painted this art work in 2016 and it's of a bay on the Central Coast in New South Wales, Australia. I still have this art work for sale, unfortunately I haven't sold it yet but maybe it's because it's an Australian scene and I live in New Zealand.
