Clear Ocean Painting

This painting was inspired by a picture of the clear emerald waters of Vietnam. I could picture myself there and could feel the warm sand and the crisp ocean breeze. I could almost hear the sound of calm waves washing over the beach. So I set to capture that feeling and that moment on canvas. Being able to take a trip to a place far away, or even into a different time, is one of the many joys of painting and being able to share that with others is a true blessing. This piece is made with only archival materials and varnished so the viewer will be able to feel the scene exactly as I did for years to come.
