The Immensityof the Sea

This was the first time I painted the sea. I did not need a complicated subject: I simply wanted to find that blue, that sense of distance and the place the sea holds within me. I still love the colours in this painting and the space opening between the beach and the horizon. It keeps something of that first impulse: the pleasure of painting a place I love without needing to explain everything. Its vastness gives me room to breathe.
