The ocean has so many different moods and colors. Water’s color comes only through reflection and refraction. When the sky is clear and the water is glassy you can see brilliant blues like these.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“I am passionate about art,
enjoy the act of creation, and hope to help people who view my artwork
appreciate the beauty already around them. Too many people stumble through life
without enjoying nature. Art is a form of communication and it is as important
what you say as how you say it. I am an optimist at heart and I choose to use
my art to talk about beauty. Since nature provides the inspiration for art, I
enjoy painting en plein air so that I can be out in nature and incorporate all
the senses into my paintings and better communicate an experience of the place."
