"A beached buoy lies in the surf at the edge of the sea, having been torn loose from its mooring during a recent storm."
Artist comment: "One day, as my husband and I walked on the beach near Westport, Washington, we heard a sad moaning sound repeating regularly. Naturally curious, we followed the sound to see a 'bell buoy' lying on its side in the surf. With each wave the buoy emitted that sound. It was a fascinating subject to paint in oil It is sort of quirky and fun. I like the 'hot' red surrounded by all that blue, and the black base adds a feeling of 'weight' to the subject. The bands of beach and wave repeat the linear lines in the composition, while the splash breaks them up."
