I especially love watching the rough waves crash against rugged rocks. The colours (blue, teal, turquoise) are just beautiful to watch. I am not a very good swimmer, but I have learned to surf and canoe. Spending time around water calms me. I intend to paint all of the British coastline over the next 5-10 years. I want to be known for it.

The waves splash against the rocks, as seagulls whirl above. They create an atmosphere that puts one in a meditative, monk-like trance. The sounds and colours are therapeutic. Recently, I've been studying the juxtaposition of colours.
There must must be a reason that 3/4 of the Earth's surface is water, and similarly, 70% of our bodies. Water is magical - I can't paint it enough! less
