Why do we love ocean art so much? Because we can’t always be there, toes in the sand, but we can stare into a painting and feel like we are. Through a rainy Seattle winter, I dreamt of just this, dipping into the buoyant Dead Sea and relaxing in its salty waters, and staring through the clear gently lapping waves. This moved me to live in that moment through art and create that depth and immersion with resin. I did this working in multiple layers to build the feel of a sandy ground with metallic accents peaking out where rocks lie and outcroppings form, to a middle layer of warm clear waters, and finally, a top layer of lapping soft waves gently peeling into the shore in an undisturbed and barely perceptible way.
