Blowback Surf at New York Boulevard Jetty

This watercolor was painted from one of my own photographs taken a day after a typical New Jersey nor'easter. The powerful west winds causes the tops of the waves to be blown back, creating high foam tops.

This short video illustrates how the jetty becomes a believable element of the painting.
