“Surge & Sparkle” – Oil on Linen, 16x24

Alive with energy and light, Surge & Sparkle captures the raw majesty of the Pacific Ocean in the proud lineage of the California Impressionist seascape tradition. The artist’s expressive brushwork and impasto texture convey the movement and force of the crashing surf as translucent turquoise waves collide with the sun-warmed rocks below. Flecks of lavender and cool foam whites shimmer against the rugged ochres and siennas of the coastline, creating a symphony of color and rhythm that celebrates nature’s eternal motion.

Every stroke reveals the artist’s mastery of atmosphere and reflected light—where sea spray meets sky in a luminous dance of power and grace. This 16x24 oil painting honors the plein-air heritage of coastal California, recalling the spirit of artists like Guy Rose and Granville Redmond, while bringing a fresh, contemporary brilliance that makes Surge & Sparkle both timeless and exhilarating.
