Can you hear the ocean?

I can, whenever I look at this painting...

(click to enlarge any photos if you'd like to see the painting better)
Even though we live within an hour of the ocean, I don't really decorate with a beach theme or decor...


... with the exception of this oil painting...


It gives a pop of color to an otherwise (somewhat bland) white-on-white bathroom.


I just have it propped up on this storage cabinet. I love the added charm of the unfinished stapled sides...

I wanted to share it on Blue Monday because of the incredibly beautiful blues in the sky and ocean... (which definitely vary depending on my camera setting and the natural light/overhead light)...

I can't make out the signature, only the year 1979.

Thank you for letting me share my Blue Monday item with you. Please stop by Smiling Sally's blog to see her post and to find a list of all the other Blue Monday participants!

Happy Blue Monday!
