I am at the beach in Daytona with my cousins where we spent most of our time.  I love the water and took lots of pictures with the idea that I would paint one or two of them.  But more then that, the sounds of the waves takes over my whole being.  I can feel each beat of my heart  getting in synchronization with each wave as it rolls onto the shore.  All I can say it is a beautiful experience.  I think this is what has inspired me to study the water.  Love to all,  Mary A.
