Challenge of painting an ocean


The wave tossed Atlantic Sea was a challenge to express in acrylic paint.I tried to accurately paint the wave action and the waters edge. People were moving around too much to capture with my brush.. Distant .landmarks were added with a few quick strokes of the brush. The final artwork shows my impression of being there and painting on the spot. I was tempted to splash into the water's edge. That is a real salty experience. Perhaps I'll go back again to the beach and try to express the people too
