| "Power Play"
"The wave breaks and tumbles into foam,
displaying the awesome power of the sea. The midday sun plays across
the surface of the water in glittering stars. The ocean is powerful
and playful at the same time."
ARTIST COMMENT I began this painting as an oil demonstration for a local art group. My intention was to show a very classic breaker, (that I call the "Thompson" wave) which exemplifies the rising swell with a translucent top, breaking and rolling at both edges into frothy foam. I chose to indicate a mid-morning scene with the sunlight over the viewer's left shoulder. This angle of the sun will pick out the peaks in the ripples and send sparkles of light dancing on the water. The setting could be anywhere on the Pacific coast. It was recreated as a composite of the waves that I have memorized throughout the years. To learn more about the artist "painting the sea", please click here.
