Another painting for my solo show next year at the Abend Gallery, Denver CO for which they suggested varying the size a bit of the canvasses so this one is smaller. It's actually based on a memory from a while ago when I was with a few friends drinking wine on the beach at Hove late at night and watching the waves come in as they hit the beach. The horizon was invisible and the waves looked like they were coming from an infinite space which gave the experience a surreal power... or was that just the wine?.... So out there in an infinite ocean maybe it's a small fishing boat making it's way back to port, there are a number of possible interpretations... In a way the whole point of this painting is the tiny dot of light out to sea.
It has been very difficult to get a decent scan of this painting so this a photo of it taken on my iPhone which will have to do.
Oil on canvas 31 1/2" x 12".
There is a short step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
