Ocean Surface Paintings

I'm beginning to work on my 6 (yes, 6 now) paintings that will stand behind my sculptures for my upcoming senior exhibition. I'm going to start this week on the first two.

I will do two ocean surface paintings for the upper two shelves within the glass case. In front of one painting will be the shark head leaping out of the water. In front of the second will be two birds floating and/or flying above the water. Here are some source images:
