Oil painting "Sea waves"

Plein air on the sea is great. Full-scale works literally smell of the sea, they are not as neat as the Studio, while extremely sincere and accurate. This surf I wrote more than ten years ago in the Kuban in Russia in the town of Kabardinka, perhaps now the embankment has become more well-groomed, but then here and in Gelendzhik and in Novorossiysk the sea and the sun completely occupied the souls of vacationers not spoiled by European landscapes and simply did not know what could be steeper than concrete breakwaters and the black sea breeze, evening cicadas and draught wine with chuchela at sunset. But the tan was more vigorous and the laughter louder. This etude is better to arrange in the frame, then it is completely academic, will play in a new way, with its natural Kuban colors.
