It was rather a busy day and I didn't get to any genealogy research, but I have recently discovered this absolutely wonderful painter in my quest for a certain sea captain that may or may not be related to us. And since my head is full of shipwrecks and storms at sea all the time these days, I really must share some of the gorgeous work of the Armenian-Russian Romantic painter, Ivan Aivazovsky. I had never heard of him before this week, and now love his work. It's easy to imagine any of these scenes taking place around Portland Race or the nearby coast.
