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.
