This painting painted as a storm began to build and the gulls flying into the wind doing their version of hang gliding. There is nothing like painting the surf on location where you become part of what you are painting. The wind and surf spray mix together with the cold morning chill all becoming part of the painting. Sometimes you are successful and have a chance to really just enjoy being alive and revel in the moment. This is one of the lessons that the wildlife demonstrates every time you go out on location. Sure there are harsh environments and bad weather days but what a thrill it is to fly along the surf . Exhibited at the Annual International Marine Art Exhibition at the Mystic Seaport Museum. Ostensibly the Winner of the Wildlife Award.

One might ask why not just take a photo of the scene.  Camera’s lie.  The human eye can see a thousand times more nuance of color and lighting than the camera and even though the cameras of today are better, they are no match.  Then it just becomes a matter can your skill level, energy and timing match what you see and of course the better you become the closer it is to what you are seeing.  Painting is not the same as photography and the goals are not the same.  It takes a lifetime to learn art and to gain the skill but sometimes the results surpass your expectations.
