Seascapes

I grew up near the ocean and it is one of my favorite subject to paint.  I lived within walking distance to the beach.  I would go every chance I had during the summer.  Since I live in the Midwest painting a seascape is from a photograph and it can transport me to that day.  If I am working on a painting which is giving we trouble, I'll stop and work on a seascape and then I will be ready to go back to the original painting.
