Artist comment: "I've painted the sea with oil paint hundreds of times in many moods. Here the ocean is relatively calm in summer colors. There is a misty quality that subdues harsh edges, giving the scene a tranquil look. I used a 'reverse C' composition to offset the linear aspect of the water. I painted blues first, then the browns, ending with the translucent wave, white rolling splash, then the foam patterns and runoff on the rocks."
