I love this painting! This brings sheer joy, and terror to my mind. Would like to experience the sea like this in all its fury just once in my lifetime. What a beautiful peice of Art.
I have seen the waves beating upon the shore along the coast of northern California, but not during a storm. You have certainly captured the violence of the sea.
I was in our small sailboat on Lake Mead with my son when a storm came up suddenly. We managed to get tied up at Temple Bar Marina in Arizona. We didn't get much sleep that night with the boat crashing into the dock. We were so thankful that we weren't out in the middle of the lake. The next day we were trying to sail back the 30 miles to Lake Mead Marina in Nevada, and the wind was so strong, and such waves, that there were times that we would feel the boat leaning to one side, and we would yell, "Tipping" and both of us would jump to the other side of the boat!

Response to Karen's comment

Thank you so much for your comment, Karen.
My own feelings on the painting are slightly different in that it gives me a wonderfully elated high but would never in my life wish to experience being at the sea's mercy. I admire tremendously anyone who risks their life willingly at sea, particularly Ellen McArthur.
