The North Coast
A Big Sur inspired encaustic commissioned painting.
Recently a collector asked me to paint the Big Sur coastline. She wanted something to remind her of the beautiful place where her husband proposed. I was, honestly, intimidated by the request but once I hyped myself up a little bit and got to work I didn’t want to stop! (In fact, I couldn’t stop, so I created the Coastline Series.)
Textured waves roll across deep turquoise and blue oceans…
…crashing into the embedded rocks.
White sea spray dances on top of the water and swirls around the rocks.
The North Shore feels like looking back at the shore from a boat out at sea.
‘Echo of the Sea’ captures the raw and untamed beauty of the ocean, offering a striking blend of movement and mood. The swirling whites and grays in the sky evoke stormy clouds rolling across an endless seascape, while the textured deep indigo waters below ripple with depth and mystery. Crafted using the encaustic technique, the layers of beeswax and pigment create a luminous, almost ethereal quality, inviting you to immerse yourself in its beautiful moodiness.
This piece speaks to the beauty in nature’s power. It’s a reminder of the balance between chaos and calm. Touches of silver - like the glimmering moon on the sea - accent the dark, dramatic waves and dynamic, shifting sky.
