Glimpse of Summer

 I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend ahead as we remember all who have served our country~ Summer is in the air here and the California coast has been picture perfect. After a day of photographing and studying the sea I couldn't help but to paint my memories.
 My soul is so connected to the water, I always find peace and happiness there. I crave the smell of salt water and the grainy texture of the sand. Often I find myself pulling out the paint brushes to express my love for this healing place.
 The waves have been sculpted from paper and plaster to create a unique 3D effect on canvas. Sculpting allows me to have the freedom to form the oceans movement.
Once the waves are shaped, I carefully paint the sea's hues with acrylics bringing it to life.



















I hope you've enjoyed this little glimpse of summer I bring to you~ To view more click HERE

Sending you warm sunny days ahead!

You never cease to amaze me, Noel! Your work is just beautiful and like nothing else I have seen. I am near the ocean too, so I know what you are saying.
Happy Memorial Day.

Noel,

What a beautiful painting of the ocean's waves. I love how you made the wave lift off of the canvas and the colors you have chosen are so soft and serene.

I've never lived near the ocean, but if I did, I have no doubt that I would add seaside nuances throughout my home--it would just be too lovely not to.
