Black Sea at night, a painting by Ivan Aivazovsky (1879). I think it could make a great cover image for my thriller/mystery set in the Black Sea. I’m about half way through writing it. A great mood in this painting. Aivazonvsky was a master of moods.

The sea has not changed since his times, at least in Odessa. Thank you for bringing up a memory!

I still remember visiting Aivazovsky’s museum in Feodosia many many years ago. I so love his portrayal of the sea…

I remember the museum, too, and I’ve always thought that he truly felt the sea.
