Making SIX Ocean Paintings from Start to Finish: An Oil Painting Collection
Ойын-сауық
Introducing six new ocean paintings, and the process from start to finish for most of the pieces. This painting series just about made my heart explode from happiness. Reflecting on past moments of temporary joy is contagious enough to give yourself a little dose of joy all over again.
One of my focuses on this collection is that the temporal state of everything, good and bad, is a beautiful thing. It gives us hope for the future when we realize that our struggles are indeed temporary. When we recognize that good things are temporary, it produces gratitude. And reflecting on that convoluted mess of good and bad, and seeing it come in waves is truly beautiful.

I think both large water bodies and sky are incredibly strong visions and therapeutic. The strength of God being displayed and how minute our lives and problems are... Just so inspiring!! 🌅🌊 Beautiful artwork!! ❤ I wonder what you would think about sunsets on the Great Lakes or the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida? The waves are typically smaller and calmer, but so lovely! 😍 Powerful images! 🥰 The picture of the turtle under water was lovely! 🐢 Did you have more photos of underwater life? That would make a great series! 👍
I love when you paint a water/ocean scene. I don’t know if you’ve done this before but would you be willing to do a tutorial of how to go about starting to paint water and oceans? Maybe a beginner friendly tutorial using different mediums (acrylic, watercolor…I know you hate oil pastels but would love to see you use those as well). And I know you love the ocean but would also like to see water in other scenes like lakes, and ponds or rivers. Anyways, don’t stop painting water and the ocean. You capture its beauty so well and I look forward to more from you!!! Thank you for all you do and allowing to share your progress and thoughts with us!
Hello Mira! I am in awe of this collection! Well-l, really I am so happy watching you create & share at anytime. But I digress. Your wish came true with me. I really did have some calming moments & could have watched you paint these all day. Thank you muchly for sharing your talents & thoughts & motivations. My go to place to R&R & relax my mind increase my spiritual breaths is Yellowstone National Park.... the trees which I hug, the wildlife, the forest & smells & sounds, the waterfalls, & of course, the wonders of the geysers. No place like it. This is my Father's world. 😊

Wow, I love the way you described Yellowstone! I’ve always wanted to go there!
This collection brings so much calmness and gratitude for what the Lord has made for us. It would have been a cute addition if you included the one with the turtle swimming. 🙏☀️💕
My favourite place to be is in the mountains. Particularly the tundra up in the mountains. I love the ocean (any body of water) too, but my heart is in the mountains.
Leave it to Mira to make me feel like i need to paint IMMEDIATELY ❤

Eibsee. A lake in southern Germany. It’s a stunning mountain lake. Surrounded by mountains. I love to swim out and float on my back and look up at the Zugspitze, the tallest mountain in Germany. It’s my happy place. I grew up four blocks from the Atlantic Ocean so I do love water.
the painting you didn't film that's very pastel is so beautiful! I love how muted the colours are and I think it might be my favourite 🥰
Wow, they are all so beautiful, it's hard to pick a favorite. Keep painting those water scenes. Your love for it really shows in the finished pieces ♥ QOTD: A peaceful place is my favorite kind of vacation whether it's the sound of ocean waves and seagulls, or just taking in the peacefulness of a forest with trees and nature sounds such as a trickling stream or waterfall, and birds.
Currently on vacation in Arizona and I wish I had my art supplies right now! Water has always made me feel peaceful and happy ever since I was a little kid.
Im just gawking at my phone, in awe of this collection! These paintings look so real and have so much depth. Just stunning. 🌊❤
Wow! The last was so Amazing. The movement in the water is uplifting!
Hi Mira. My favorite place, seeing as I have never ventured out of South Africa and would HIGHLY recommend in you ever look at coming to South Africa. There is a road in Cape Town called Clarence Drive (AKA the whale route) my favorite thing when we go down to the cape for a holiday, is to park on that road and watch the sun set. It is absolutely breathtaking and really miraculous as you see the silhouette of table mountain as the background. If I lived in the cape, I'd be there every evening as the view is just glorious 😍 ❤ thank you for this very inspiring video, I always look forward to your videos on a Saturday evening for me. (As I am a few hours ahead.) Keep well and stay blessed. ❤
They are all so beautiful and calming. A wonderful set! 😍❤️ Being next to water, ocean, lakes, rivers, plants and trees, hearing birds are my favourite. Very calming and gives me time to reflect on the things God has made
Beautiful! For me the place that brings me joy is the mountains, especially around autumn🍂⛰️

Mira, those are all amazing! I didn't visit an ocean until I was 50. I never had the desire. Once I did, I realized why it's raved about. It is such a calming, yet mysterious feeling. I feel similar in the mountains or any natural park that isn't overly crowded. I need to do a marathon of all your past videos. I only found your channel a couple of days ago.

I live right near the sea! I can see it from my bedroom window.. however I love the countryside especially in lambing season, seeing new life and especially lambs as they jump and skip around. Saying that I love being in warmer climates it doesn’t have to be red hot.. just hotter than England 😂

Hi Mira! My place to go is also the ocean. However, if I simply can't, theres nothing better to me than neing outside surrounded by greenery amd flowers and a nice breeze. Im also discovering a deep love for all types of animals. Just take me outside for a short escape and im satisfied. I Really enjoy all of your collections 😊
I LOVE your collections and that's your style on KZread!! You are a successful woman 🫶
I just want to say that watching your videos gives me peace. I suffer from anxiety, so it is really nice when I can stop my brain from speeding along. I can stop and listen to your calm voice and watch you create Amazing paintings. Thank You and keep up the great work. ❤
These are so realistic its crazy! They look so good! I definitely love this collection.

I love the ocean. I decided a couple years ago I was going to buy a print of every water painting you did and was so excited to see this one! They are beautiful!
Looks like marble water on beachs !
This collection brings me so much joy. I loved going to Kauai because you are just always in view of the water. It brings me such peace and in so thankful I get to have the Coastal Dreams print in my house to remind me of that feeling!
This is so beautiful Mira... your paintings are full of soul... I too spent a lot of time by water. Rivers and lakes etc. It helped me contemplate my life after experiencing grief and a painful divorce 😢... I am an amateur artist, so this has really inspired me. Thank you xx

Everything in this collection is so beautiful! I love being near water too. For the question of the day I actually have to say where I live. Living in Phoenix is so special. Just going for a walk I can see mountains, Palm trees, cacti, and beautiful flowers. Being able to go outside everyday and having so much sunshine makes me incredibly happy!

It's always astonishing and awesome to see you dedicated to your art. You're such an incredible artist and I connected too with the deep calm of the ocean. I missed this video beforehand because of having some really busy weeks, but I came back to it now and it made me stand up and connect my phone to my TV, I wanted to appreciate your art the best I could ❤️ much love from the other side of the ocean!
Lol, its funny what you said toward the end, because I'm literally on my lunch break at work right now watching this haha. Such a beautiful collection of paintings.
These are incredibly beautiful. Also very special to me since I went to treatment in Florida for the first time in 2021 and the ocean became such a big part of my recovery. ❤

Such beautiful work! Water is a difficult thing to capture but you do it so well. My favorite calming vacation is going to sound odd. But watching my favorite EDM artists perform gives me such a happy and peaceful feeling. Those are my happiest vacations.
The ocean is my happy place as well. It is my comfort and my peace. And I live in landlocked Idaho. Thankfully, I do work for an airline though.

I'm a former (retired) scuba diver so I share your awe at the beauty and soothing nature of the ocean.
The ocean has always brought me anxiety because of its chaos and power. What brings me calm is the forest due to its stillness and constant growth in which is slow. You do not see its transformation immediately but over time you can watch the seedlings turn to large thriving trees. You observe the cycle of life in the decay and rebirth.
