Notes from the Studio:

"​I’ve finished #2 in the series of the White Horses of the Sea.  This turned out to be not just a simple wave painting, lots of complex actions.  Creating the water being drawn back into the new curl and spray with wave actions coming through as well as foam depicting the actions of the slap back.   I don’t know if you can see the subtle variations of tone within the spray but just like a cloud you can develop more volume through several variations of tone within the same value. Thus a lot of vibrancy within the mist.
We’re socked in on a cloudy day so a lot of color and subtle transitions seem to be missing from the photo.
This one has only one horse but it’s a biggen. “White Horses of the Sea 2”, 12x17 oil on linen.
It’s was really mind bending to paint a seascape, then change focus to the horse, then refocus
back to waves. At least that’s the way I approached it so my mind was bending.
This is original art, a Maine art piece inspired by the poem “White Horses of the Sea” by Elfin. (See Poem ).  I’m doing a series of small pieces showing those foamy steeds till I paint large the museum piece from the series. This the second one. "
