Building Surf; Spent Foam; Spring Surf (three works)

This triptych presents three seascapes rendered in oil on paper, each capturing the dynamic movement of waves and surf along a coastal shore. The compositions emphasize the interplay of water, sand, and light through soft, naturalistic color palettes dominated by greens, blues, and warm earth tones. Rocks and beach elements anchor the foreground of the left and center panels, while the rightmost work focuses on rolling waves with minimal landscape detail. The paintings demonstrate a traditional approach to marine subject matter, employing loose brushwork and atmospheric effects to convey the ephemeral quality of light and water. This body of work reflects a sustained engagement with seascape painting, exploring variations on the theme of breaking surf and coastal conditions.
