Green Wave

8x10 Oil

A few days ago the weather was sitting on me like a wet blanket. The sky was gray, the clouds were gray, and my state of mind was ... kind of numb. It's interesting how much the weather can boss me around. In any case, I needed light! I needed the beach! So I grabbed my paints and brushes and set out to paint an ocean wave.

This was not easy! But it did cheer me up. I am going to paint more coastal scenes, because I would really like to learn how to capture the ocean, which, after spending the first twenty years of my life in the Hawaiian Islands, is a deep and vast emotional anchor. I love the sea. Actually, I love any place where there is water.

I hope this wave cheers you up, even just a few sun sparkles worth!
