Living in Gloucester, I see the ocean every day. It is beautiful of course, as is the endless sky it reflects. But what makes our "views" special is the evidence of the fishing industry past & present. I find I have a hard time painting just a pretty sunset... As enjoyable as it is to me, it's better glowing through tangles of masts, rigging and cables. I love that mash up of gorgeous water, dancing light, and rusting boats.

This particular view just feels like busy working people to me - the rigging, the boats - there is just a lot of work going on here!
