Ochre Tide

Foaming bands of surf roll toward the foreground beneath a broad, clouded sky, rendered in layered ochres, siennas, browns, and chalky white. Acrylic paint on canvas shifts from thin atmospheric veils above to dense gestural passages and intricate marbled contours in the waves. The restricted earth-toned palette gives the seascape meditative warmth while the repeated breakers sustain a steady sense of motion.
