"Bewildered Sea" - 6" x 6" acrylic on paper in 14" x 11" mat - $65

The unpredictability of the sea is one of the things that draws me to its shores.  Some days the deep blue waves are pounding the beach, leaving streaks of creamy white foam in the sand; then an hour later they have relaxed into giant rolling waves of the palest shade of clear blue green, gently lapping at the shore. 

The sea is like a chameleon, bewildered at the environment while rushing to make itself blend in despite the constant changes surrounding it.

There's just something about the crashing waves and the foamy beach that grounds me to the earth.  Being there makes me feel carefree and light - like I'm living in another world.  Then reality sits in and I have to return back home, to a bustling city and my life.  Two worlds......so close, yet so very far away.
