Year: 2025
Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 24"x36"
Choppy Tides (2025), is a continuation of my series of wave paintings. I created this oil painting with a series of brushes, capping the waves with a white impasto. I find myself fascinated with the way that the light bounces off of the top of the waves, as if playing leap frog between sets. Choppy was created using the same 4 colors used in Daybreak, though they feature completely different textures, different tones and movements; thus the scenes look entirely different. There is a little contradiction in serenity and chaos. between the calm sun resting on the horizon and the swirling clouds and choppy waters beneath. The deeper blues fighting to take over hint at the more restless, untamable power of the ocean, while the whites wave caps attempt to contain its movement beneath the sky. This piece, and ones like it, are another way in which I am able to explore emotion and dynamic feelings in a natural scene.
