You never know. One thing that really worked for me was the movement in the composition; it takes you eye from the cloud in the top left on a journey down to the surfing splash in the bottom right. The next painting, Study 2, obviously is the second study I did of this scene, loose but not as loose, a bit more pictorial with less movement. I like loose and fresh.
