Have tried to improvise on foliage dabbing colors with rather dry brush strokes. Invite suggestions from all please.

I think you could do with some research into water and what it looks like. This is pretty naive, but a good starting point. But like your learning about the other types of scenery, you will get it in time.
Ocean water is challenging. It's sculpted with form, with big wave shapes within which are smaller shapes, yet it has to feel like it's moving with some sense of rhythm and cohesive relation. It's like the difference between a musical solo versus a fully orchestrated symphony. Both can certainly be beautiful, but the orchestration means so much more has to work.
Then again, some artists just use it as an opportunity to generally slap in some paint and the idea of the ocean is hoped to carry the illusion. If you're aiming for that kind of painterly approach, as opposed to strict realism, then you need to consider putting in paint that excites and works within the lexicon you establish. In those cases you want to show us what paint and color and values can say with less literal purpose from the subject.
Eventually, you have to decide which way you want to go and develop those skills to where you command the canvas more so than just acquiesce to what pops up.
Very good stretch. Brings quite a few artistic considerations to the forefront.
Go, my good sir! You're growing fast.
