I thought you may find this interesting: 

My wife is an artist among things and she enjoys working in acrylic medium. One day after we moved to Jeffreys Bay, she wanted to test her wave painting skills. We couldn't get hold of a canvas, so she just grabbed the next best thing. A Pizza box. Eventually she painted the "sick" wave on the box and it is hangs in our house. People walk in here often and then they compliment me on the great photo after which I confess that it is actually an imaginative wave my wife painted. Recently, she started with a another big wave on a real canvas. She is also working on an exhibition of her other work in September.
