Scape 3, Blue Water, 48.5 x 60”

The movement of water is captured flawlessly in this piece of art, with its repetitive brush strokes creating horizontal movement interrupted by subtle vertical breaks. In a carefully orchestrated arrangement, two oil glazed panels stand on either side of the central composition, each possessing its own distinct personality. The first panel glimmers with a warm golden hue, while the second panel remains neutral, allowing the viewer's attention to be drawn towards the vivid center. It is in this bright and unobstructed middle section that the true essence of the painting takes shape, symbolizing the way in which we often find ourselves distanced from the wonders of nature.
Much like the grand windows that overlook the vast expanse of the ocean, the vertical panels serve as a metaphorical reminder of the beauty that can be encountered from afar. While these windows offer us breathtaking views, they simultaneously create a sense of detachment from the natural world. In a similar vein, the artist skillfully employs a limited palette of blues, golds, grays, and greens, evoking a harmonious and serene atmosphere that further accentuates the metaphorical narrative of the piece.
Through this mesmerizing composition, the artist encourages us to contemplate the ways in which we interact with our surroundings and the often subtle ways in which we can become detached from the world around us. By immersing ourselves in the intricate details of this painting, we are reminded to reflect upon the importance of embracing and preserving nature's inherent beauty, whether it be up close or from a distance.
