This page showcases a selection of paintings of oceans and beaches, a subject which I have returned to many times. The abiding focus of my work is color and texture and the seaside offers an abundance of these: the shades of sand and shell, the patterns given by wind, surf and seabirds, the blues of sky and sea that range from pale blue to navy, dull-gray-green and bright turquoise; the lacelike deposits of seafoam that soften the border, making the line between sea and sand unfixed and fluid.
