Sea....

2 days on the sea... as always, very inspiring ! 
The sea does to me the same as an open fire does... you can just sit in front of it and get lost in it. 
I have done hundreds of photos and still haven't really captured the essence of the sea... the strength of the water for example I could not catch on the photo ( you would need the noise with it maybe...)
 I think one of my next paintings will be again 'the sea', but this time a dynamic one ...and really really big. 
I did a small painting on a telephone book , just to play with the colours and the old texture. 
But first the photo:
