Original artwork description:

Ocean of The Sky was inspired by softly glowing waves of clouds. As they glided over the Rocky Mountains, they resembled an ethereal ocean. It was an unforgettable sight.

I started this painting by thinning down oil paint to the point where it almost blends like watercolors. I then used compressed air to guide the under painting.

Then I painted over that, making sure to let some of the under painting show through. The interplay of colors creates a sense of movement and immediacy that keeps the painting fresh.

The painting process I use lends itself to creating organic forms, which I then tighten up with structural lines. This free-form technique mirrors the larger theme of my work: the hard edges of our structured world contrasted against the organic forms of the natural world.

This original oil painting was created using only the highest quality professional grade oil paint and natural non-toxic solvent to produce an archival work of art. The 1.5 inch gallery wrapped edges are painted so that no framing is needed. It is ready to hang.
