Art: The Sea In June by Artist Carol Thompson

"Rolling clouds and crashing surf mark a midday tide on 'the sea in June'."

Artist comment:  "In this oil painting, on stretched canvas, I wanted to portray the water as being warm and sunlit with seafoam green swirls in the foreground.  Living near the ocean in Washington State, I have daily access to the shore.  Painting the sea is my daily occupation.  I began with a preliminary sketch with a grey tone working out the composition as I drew.  I then began at the sky, and on down.  The greens were done all at the same time, lights first then darks.  Next came the foam patterns with a yellow tinged white.  Finally I put the splashing foam on the edges of the rollovers."
