Painting this piece on location, I wanted to capture the movement in the ocean as the tides lapped along the shoreline.

I wanted this painting to be about the power of the ocean to lift your
spirits. Painting this piece on location, I was hoping you could hear
the gentle ocean tides lapping on the shore and the sun just beginning to rise, signaling a brand new day in paradise.

This morning the sky was the most intense beautiful red that caused the atmosphere to glow and I just had to capture that magic.
