She Wanted to be Like Water 50'x46" SOLD
2023
50” x 46” acrylic/mixed media on thick canvas
After a lovely camping trip on a peninsula between Bodega Bay and the Pacific Ocean, I was left with a memory of so many shades of luminescent blue - light to dark, soft greens, bright yellow/oranges and deep darks of nights in nature……I’m fascinated with where bays meet the sea, where weather is often volatile and then soft, where the smell of the salt air is cleansing, and the bark of seals and sea lions echo their refrain to the fog horn.
The title of this piece is reflective of the soft, enveloping, comforting qualities of water contrasted with its strength as it turns rock to sand and cuts through the earth with force enough to create the Grand Canyon. How wonderful it would be to have those two seeminly opposing qualities in ourselves.
