Rolling Through
I have no idea when I started this oil painting, but I know it’s been knocking around my studio for years. I knew there was something special about it that I didn’t want to ruin… so I’ve been waiting… for years to finish it. Surfers call a large, fast breaking, barely “make able” wave a “freight train”. That is what the main wave in this oil felt like to me. Sometimes empty gallery walls or a pending show will “inspire” me to paint, but in this case, I just finally knew what to do. I worked to develop the form of the white water or “soup” as surfers call it. I intensified the sky hue along the horizon and finally, added the pelicans flying above the breakers. They were the final pieces missing from the puzzle.
