Baldwin Beach, 2012. Horizon Series. ORIGINAL SOLD / NEW YORK Print

Abstraction of Baldwin Beach on Maui. Horizon Series. 4-9-2012. It's been hanging on the wall drying for over a month. I softened the horizon line which I like because it gives the impression of surf. The colors are much more vibrant and the bottom half is a very light sand. I like it, I think it’s done. The process for this painting started as a photo of the beach. I tried several version with a digital tablet. It was in three sections. Painted several realistic beach scenes, none of which I liked. Then I went back to the original idea of having the horizon bisect the center of the canvas. The whole process for this piece was over 6 months. This is my favorite beach on Maui. I was exploring horizontal sections and proportions. Artists and photographers talk about the "rule of thirds" to make a well balance composition. How unoriginal, boring and shows no creative process. Rules are overrated and often stifling. Even though this image only shows a portion of the canvas, it shows 5 distinct horizontal areas. If you look closer at the full original there are 5 more. The final version of this was distilled and simplified to 2 main areas and 1 subtle zone.
