Big Splash

This was a very short demo I was asked to do while at Jerry's Artarama last Saturday. I had already done one demo,(which I will post very soon, of birds) and somebody in the audience asked me to do a seascape, so this became a very inpromptu demo.
I had no reference but as I have done so many waterscapes, this was no problem. The demo was a pastel on tan Sennelier Paper and probably took about 25 minutes all up.

Thanks for this comment Sue, you know me and water, it's a wonder I don't have fins instead of fingers.
