Splashing Wave

This seascape is inspired by the rhythm of splashing waves. Bold loose brushstrokes express the movement of the wave. The colors are soft, typical for the California beach under the spring marine layer. The palette is limited - white, cream and blue. Crisp edge in the foreground separates the wave from the sand. Blurred horizon and fading blue convey distance. The focal point is a big splash, painted with palette knife over layers of paint. Contemporary painting, perfect for coastal, minimalist, Hygge and cottage-core interiors.
