I did this seascape from a sketch done in Cornwall, UK about two years ago.  Visiting a small Cornish fishing village called Mevagissey I was amazed by the color of the sea and stopped to capture all those different shades of green and turquoise in a sketch. There was also a beautiful fishing port there. Maybe someday I will paint it too.
