Haha, I think my head is filled with refs for this kind of things. I've observed sea more or less my whole life, especially the foam and splashes, and lately I've also looked a lot of pictures of it so it was all quite clear on my mind when I did this.

Doing one wave is easy. Doing two or more - I've tried that countless times and all I get is mess.

But thanks for commenting!

Amazing! This is both abstract and very realistic. Only the sea could do that :D (and you, obviously). Great work, really!

Thank you! Yeah, that's the kind of approach I like in painting nature (and why not other things) - almost abstract but with realistic detail.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those ... moments will be lost in time,
like tears... in rain.
Time to die."

this is amazing! To me, some of the waves look like grasping hands. and there is a calmness about the painting aswell which shows how the sea can be so peaceful and yet violent! love it!:)
