A fresh off the commission stack painting. Interesting to try to capture a warm breezy day on the ocean when it's snowing and cold outside:) I really like the curved horizen on this one. I think it captures a nice sense of movement.

That's delightful, I feel relaxed just looking at it. I can nearly feel the cool wind if I close my eyes and imagine.
If you would excuse a small nitpick, shouldn't the horizon be curving the other direction? I distinctly remember the horizon curving down at the edges of my vision while sailing, as would be expected from living on the outside of a sphere.
Having the horizon be a bit off level does add a good sense of speed, though. They're not flying along, but the wind's not dead, either.

Don't rush to fault your horizon. I think its right-to-left downward curve balances off the edge of the boat's opposite left-to-right downward curve very nicely. Either one might give an off-balanced look to the piece, but together they present a nice oceany symmetry that is highly suggestive of movement.
