The Wave - An artwork of surf.


This is one of my 'early' paintings, of waves on the ocean.  I watched a number of videos on the ocean waves before I finally painted this artwork. 

I have completed over 300 SCUBA dives so, I am familiar and love the ocean waves and water. 

The ocean can be calm and a wind can blow up some serious waves in a heartbeat.  I can remember the time I was diving in the ocean off Jarvis Bay, New South Wales, Australia...

The ocean was calm when I submerged, and after a 45 minute dive, I surfaced to find that the ocean waves were running at 6 feet or more and the dive boat was running about, with the captain really worried, to make sure that he picked us all up OK.

We all made it.
