The Wave

12” X 16” oil and wax on paper
This original painting on archival paper captures the energy and beauty of a wave crashing onto the shore. I used a range of vibrant turquoise, teal, and deep blue hues to convey the power and motion of the water. The wave's crest is textured, with foamy whites and subtle splashes, giving a realistic sense of movement and turbulence. Hints of sandy yellows and greens appear in the foreground, suggesting a shallow, sunlit area as the wave breaks. The sky above is softly blended with muted tones of blue, beige, and pale gray, evoking a calm, slightly overcast atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the dynamic sea. The cold wax technique adds depth and richness to the textures, making the wave almost feel tangible. This painting radiates a sense of freshness, immersing the viewer in a vibrant seascape.
