I love the seaside and the ocean really intrigues me. It's deep, it's moody and there is so much about it that we don't know. When I first started painting, I watched and followed @MOLLYSARTISTRY as she was such a huge inspiration to me (and still is, but the bonus is I now get to call Molly a friend). I fell in love with the waves Molly painted and to this day, I sometimes just paint waves to allow me to escape and reflect on great memories. Today I am doing a wave on a small canvas just using a paint and water combination.
