9 x 19 pastel on paper |
Today we went for a drive and had lunch on a beach. We saw whales breach off in the distance. The ocean was rougher today, and the Trade Winds were finally here to help blow the "vog" away (volcano produced fog/smog). The waves were rolling in, and while hubby read his book, I painted this while sitting on the sand (to avoid the wind as much as possible).
I haven't had any training in seascapes and painting moving ocean waves, but I had fun trying. The tropical colors of the ocean is irresistible. I was so into it that I wasn't paying attention to the "it's time to go now" hints I was getting.
Tomorrow it is supposed to rain. I don't know what I'll do....
