6" x 6" oil on panel
After painting this ocean scene of haze, mist and still water I found my painting finished in a moment of wiping out the upper part. A momentary flick of the wrist, a swipe with an undignified rag and the deed was done, but it was exactly what this work needed. The creation of a work of art is so mundane in the processes and yet it continues to be so mysterious in the results.
