I had suggestions about sail boats and other things to add to the "background" but it was never about the ocean but the sunrise. Last night, sometime during the night, I woke up and had a thought about adding crows. Now you might be asking yourself why I never thought of that before and darn if I can tell you.
Today I had to take Brian to the dentist for a check-up and while I waited for him in the car, I did a few sketches of crows for the background. Before we left for the dentist, I went through my archive of crow photographs and chose one that I thought would be appropriate and not take over the entire piece. I fidgeted on Photoshop and got it the way I liked then printed the photograph on fabric.
So here it is not only finished but pleasing to me!!

You know... when I first looked at it I thought--it needs black. And some vertical movement. But then I thought, I can't say that--because I thought it didn't fit with your vision. Ha! Love the shading on the wing of the big crow.
What a great solution and a great addition! This is what I call a "happy accident!"
Wow, the birds really change the tenor of the piece! Great additions...
That's a great save.! Just what the piece needes. It's beautiful now!
wow did this turn out nice! I host a link party "Off the Wall Fridays" and would like to invite you to join us anytime you have a project going that you want to share. We find it inspiring, motivational and educational.
The crows did it. Great!
Great finish!
Sometimes it just takes a little time to become inspired. Looks like you waited long enough for a great one! Well done...
