Refracting Light

Original painting of the blue sky refracting light on the sea at dawn.

blue skies bending down
refracting light deep and wide
water reaches up

Though I don’t exhibit my “sea” paintings, I love painting them. 90% of my time painting is digital. The other 10% is spent painting on canvas using heavy body acrylics. When I do paint on canvas, I find myself drawn to painting the sea. There’s a different connection for me with a brush in my hand versus a stylus pen used in digital painting. The lightness of a brush, its texture, the smell of the paint, the organic flow that puts me in the deepest part of my emotional being where I connect profoundly with the sea.
