I've loved the ocean since I was a young child when my family spent summers at the New Jersey shore. I have fond memories of awakening early in the morning and heading down to the beach with my father for a swim. The water was cold and the beach was bright, the ocean sparkling in the early morning sunlight.
Last summer I spent a week in Truro on Cape Cod. I wandered the back beach and photographed the ocean. My photos inspired a new series of paintings, each one a 15” X 15” square. I arrange the paintings in a long row to create a panoramic vista. I plan to build up, adding a row of square paintings of the sky above the waves. I want my viewers to feel engulfed by the waves, hear them breaking and feel the salt air.
