I find rocky shores and rock formations in the water endlessly fascinating maybe because I grew up near an ocean with smooth sand and interesting shells but no rocks; I wanted a little more drama!
I saw these rocks while on the coast this summer, and took lots of photos knowing even then that I would be painting them. As I got closer to them, I was amazed to see all of the different colors that from a distance looked only dark grey and brown.
