I’ve been painting this stormy North Wales seascape on and off for a couple of years. I started working from a photo but soon lost it in some far off web cloud.

I was interested in exploring the conflicting sky and sea, though for a while it looked like 2 separate paintings chopped across the middle. I think the sea spray helps? Also the colours are almost hyper real - this part of the world always brings shades of purple grey to mind.
