I
was thinking of sea foam when I painted this miniature and it occurred
to me that pure water cannot create foam. Foam is caused by the minerals and
microscopic sea life changing the quality of the liquid. Those additions, plus the
difference in light and the varied ocean floor gives every ocean and beach it's own unique colours.SEA FOAM
ORIGINAL ART ACEO 3.5" x 2.5"
Larger Originals in the same series, or Prints may be available. To view my Gallery please visit Daily Paintworks.
This painting is SOLD but I'm happy to take a commission for a similar work. Contact me to inquire about prints and Art cards.
Like most of us I love the ocean. Water is highly reflective and mostly transparent, so it echoes the colours in the sky. The ocean acts like a type of lens and slightly alters the rock, coral, sand, vegetation and sea life below.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the sea is wave action. When I've met surfers they can talk for hours about waves and I can see why, they are completely mesmerizing. Waves have rhythm, beauty and awesome power. They can crash like thunder or gently rock you to sleep. Neither it's beauty, nor it's power should be underestimated.
