Sea Winds

"Sea Winds" explodes in brilliance when it hits the light. I worked in three layers with this piece, the bottom-most layer formed the raucous waves and the storming bubbly clouds, then the middle layer enhanced the lines in the water giving them depth and the top layer was a translucent magnifier with a touch of aqua and silver. So, when you look down through the layers you really feel a sense, just for a moment, of being in the cold waters, having them rush by you and staring into the sky. I always try to work to create moments that are serene and immersive in the ocean because few things in life pull you in like staring at the ocean. Resin is a demanding but exhilarating art form. It is punishing but blissful. With just an hour of worktime, I must use every hard wrought lesson to perfect the pigmented resin I pour. I use surfboard crafting pigments, India Inks, powder pigments and more for the varying hues. Then, I grab a heat-based tool, like my blow torch and manipulate the poured layers from there. The same process that gets you a gorgeously decorated surfboard is what gets you these paintings. As a former surfer, I find myself ever eager to recapture those fleeting moments in the surf in resin. *Picture is an example of how my work may look in your space, but the actual size is as listed. Typically, I enlarge it in the example picture to capture all the detail. Poplar & Birch Wood Panel with natural finish lacquered sides Ready to Hang Comes with a Signed Certificate of Authenticity
