“There are many causes for movement of the sea’s waves: wind and earthquakes, heat and cold, shallow and deep water, the rotation of the Earth.  Whatever the cause, the result is that the sea is always, eternally, perpetually, in motion. That is one of the inseparable qualities of this immensity of water and its color which also reflects its constant and ever-changing character.

Everytime you come to the sea to paint or ponder, it will always be what it is at that hour, that day, and if you spend an hour or several, it will lull and mesmerize you and take you with it to experience some of its timelessness.”

- Sir Roland Richardson
