The beautiful blues and the light green transparency of the waves at their peak is so delicate and beautiful I wanted to see if I could capture it in this small painting. Several small paintings of waves were done around this time focusing on the change of color in the waves. Since the paintings are so small, the image needs to be simple and focused, which I believe is why these small paintings work.

This small piece was done on a warm Cape Cod afternoon. Sketches and color stuidies were done on site and I finished 5 pieces from Old Silver Beach. It's hard not to make the beautiful skies, which change so quickly, a focal point. Extensive information about the sky was notated and I was able to interpret from life and memory what I saw.
