STORMY WEATHER By Cecelia Lyden

While I'm on vacation, I've been painting some small studies of the sky and ocean. This morning started out cloudy with a chance of rain. The ocean and sky were dark and rough and both kept changing rapidly-- difficult, but fun to paint. The early sunrises here are beautiful, but it's too dark to set up outside. I've taken scores of photos so I will be painting a sunrise from one of those when we return home

Reminds me of an angry sea off the rocky coastline of Cape Ann, Mass.
One of my favorite places to be.......

I so love the ocean. This really captures the feeling of a stormy day with its choppy seas.
I am looking forward to your sunrise paintings.
