Striving to catch the movement and emotion in the ocean is always my goal. I used an interplay of blues, blacks and whites to create a dynamic energy in this painting. Occasional hints of reds and yellows peek through to provide warmth and contrast against the cool palette. It brings to mind the energy of a giant wave or even a constellation up in the sky.
Mountains and sky merge seamlessly in this dynamic yet peaceful abstract painting. Inspired by the view from my studio, I captured the essence of the mountain range meeting the sea under a vibrant, layered sky of soft blues. I painted around the edges, allowing the artwork to be appreciated from any angle.
The gap is a constant calling to me as I see it from my studio window and it has a metaphorical meaning to us. Passing through the gap on our sailing voyages indicates we are on holiday and ready for adventure at sea. There is only the water and distance that lies between us and our destination.
The continuous ebb and flow, or rising and falling of the ocean give me a comforting sensation. This artwork intimately captures that experience, immersing you directly into its depths. The texture, when observed up close, offers intricate details.
When we are out sailing we love to explore the shoreline looking at all the details the coastal waters and islands have to offer. As a lone sailboat meanders along the shore, a fleet of sails is running a race in the distance. Other ships pass by along the horizon. Each one in a world of its own on a great big sea.
