Living in Southern California I have always liked the beach and ocean but since childhood I feared attack from below whenever I went deep into the surf for fun. Needless to say I wouldn't spend much time in seawater above my chest...the level where phobia kicks in. Maybe it's not so phobic as shark attacks have increased every decade I grew older. I'm not an aura-rainbow watcher but like the ocean mist when I see it. In my art too.
