Over the last several years I have departed from the tradition of seascape painting and focused on the water itself. The seemingly chaotic activity within the forms of turbulence was new and exciting to me, but I also recognized their reflection in the studies of Leonardo da Vinci. I was inspired to take these foamy elements further out of the context of naturalism by sometimes giving them a darkened stage thus heightening the potential drama of water and its primal importance in our lives.
