Nautical Paintings

As ocean waves approach the shore, most are about the same size. On avrerage, the seventh wave is much larger. I'm imagining that a fatal seventh wave is breaking over the hull of he square rigged ship in this paintin, as it is being shipwrecked.

During a family sail on Germantown Lake in Crocket Park, Fauquier County, Virginia, the wind died down as the sun was setting. As I paddled toward the dock, my son-in-law Scott took the photo on which this painting is based.
