"The Ocean Rocks!"
I love just about everything to do with Nature! Especially the ocean!
I start with an idea but like my buddy Picasso says, "Make it a vague idea!"
I could paint the ocean this way forever!
If you look very carefully at left center of painting you should see a bit of a light spectrum caused by one of many prisms hung in my studio. I didn't see it when I was taking this photo. Just noticed it now while posting this entry. I think it adds a bit of fun and a bit of mystery to the painting.
I hope you like this piece as much as I enjoyed making it!
Paint on!
Michael
wild and wonderful!

DeleteThat is exactly how I feel about the ocean!
Thank you!
Michael
ooo yeah...the prism is an added benefit--you could paint that in! Well, your love of the ocean does shine through here. I love how vast and non-specific it is....dreamy.....just like the ocean

All the movement of the ocean here , great abstract !
ReplyDeleteJane!
DeleteI think the movement of the ocean is one of its main attractions to me!
I am glad it shows and you noticed it and mentioned it!
Thank you!
I love to leave many works abstract like! Keeps the artist and the viewer wanting more and thinking a bit?
Take care.
Michael
I love the variety of greens. Also the slides you've accomplished.

Ciao Michael,
ReplyDeletei tuoi quadri hanno molta forza e trasporto! Sono sempre un po' "apocalittici" e secondo me questa è una grande qualità perchè trasmettono energia e sogno insieme... Non è poco vero?
Ciao, abbracci, Floriana

Beautiful! I live next to the ocean and never fail to notice its beauty. Picasso would be proud. Thanks for your visits and your comments, Michael!
ReplyDeleteMary!
DeleteThank you so very, very much for stopping by and writing wonderful comments!
I am so happy you get to live near the ocean! Isn't it the best!
I am not far from Plymouth and I get to the harbor as often as possible. Love living on the MA south coast!
It is my pleasure to visit your blog and write. Your work is fantastic! Great colors and much excitement!
Take care and thanks again.
Michael
I love the power and beauty of the ocean too - and you have captured both exceedingly well with this piece. It leaves much for the viewer to imagine while conveying the forceful excitement and energy of the motion!
ReplyDeleteSusan!
ReplyDeleteAs always, it is so nice to hear from you! I very much appreciate your fine comments and visits!
I am so glad you noticed my attempt to capture so much about the ocean! Thank you! I am also thrilled that you understood my reason for making this piece closer to abstraction than representational! When I am in the "zone" I believe the painting does most of the work and almost directs itself.
I love your work!
Paint on!
Michael
You certainly have captured the movement of the waves. Love your colors as well. Excellent work Michael.
