5209 OPEN SEAS

The sea is always moving, creating foam patterns while shimmering in the light.  Capturing the light and movement in the open sea is often challenging.  While shipboard on a windy day, I caught the ocean dazzling.   I took lots of pictures for future reference, thinking this moment will one day be a painting.  

Since I've spent endless days painting and observing the ocean; painting from photos now has become something I'm willing to try.  There is nothing like being there, but sometimes the only possibility of catching a stormy day, is photographs.  This painting is about the patterns in the sunlight, enjoy.
