More nautical – never good at doing as I am told!

More on the nautical theme. Just a few paintings I did while I attended an art course in North Norfolk.
Interesting being tutored and I turned out some diverse paintings . I didn’t always kept to the script!

Waves and Horses

White Horse wave

White Horse wave – Poseidon, King of the Sea, created the Horse. Breaking waves are called white horses as the crest of the mane can be seen as the mane of the horse. Listen to them closely … the booming of the waves crashing sounds like hundreds of hooves thundering along the ground. For me waves and horses conjures up the spirit of freedom.
