In the Blue is a modern take of undersea life which was inspired by photographer Alejandro Velasco, to whom I’m very grateful for allowing me to use his work. It is the first collaboration of paintings that I have done with another artist. The shapes and brush strokes were not specific in intent so to allow ones imagination and emotions to dictate what you see. I used marine blues, sea greens, and silvery grays to dominate the paintings and give an otherworldly ocean feel.
Ray and the Sardines
Ray and the Sardines
‘Hypnotized by a massive school of sardines, when all of the sudden this ray came out to swim right below me! We swam together above the school of sardines for a few minutes until the ray went back to hide below the sand.’ I love the marine blue backdrop with the sardines and ray moving in opposite directions without touching. Almost a David and Goliath feel.
