Rosemarie Armstrong

The colour of oceans is influenced by many factors. Though water is generally considered blue, it can appear yellow, red, brown, gray, green…..What causes the ocean to appear green? Algae and plant life (photosynthetic organisms), contain chlorophyll, which appears green. Salt, particulate and organic matter in the ocean, affect its colour. This painting portrays an adventurous
