There’s something about water that draws and fascinates us.
It creates peace and awe, It creates fear and exhilaration.
It releases the stresses of everyday
life. From Ishmael in Moby Dick
to Maine summer rusticators, the sea captivates us.
Like many artists, I have been captivated by the sights and sounds of the
sea.
My paintings depict the edges and
surfaces of the vast Atlantic – its surging waves and its mirrored surfaces.
Watercolors were my first and most-natural media for painting this fluid
substance. With watercolors I love to meld blues with purples and greens.
With my Asian brush painting (another water-based media), water soaks
into rice paper, and spreads slowly softening edges of the sea with the shore.
I also use oils to create the geometric slashes of light and tide that
cut the cove in front of my studio.
