It always amazes me how different the Atlantic is from the
Pacific. Here, on the east coast, we have mornings when the ocean looks like a big lake, hardly a ripple breaks the surface.

I don't have as much experience with the west coast, but it appears to be much more intense. I have only been to the Pacific in northern California, where it is a deep, beautiful blue, unlike the semi-tropical waters we have in Florida, which can be a bright turquoise.
The reference image for this painting came from Shelly Smart's blog,
A Year at the Beach. She is not posting it anymore, but it remains a fascinating journal. She posted images of her beach every day for a year. Thank you Shelly, for sharing your images with me.
