Big waves at Coomeenole beach

No wonder I find waves so hard to paint - constant movement, contrasting light playing on all surfaces, vertical and horizontal, transparent water. At least I can freeze the video and analyse each moment. How did they manage to paint waves before the invention of the camera?

That's the beach where Matt Leblanc and the other chap sat on a picnic bench with the sunset behind them, by the way. Star Wars and Top Gear - everybody will want to go to the Dingle Peninsula now! Best place in the world (when the sun shines)
