Seascape Artist

Today’s featured art is Angry Ocean 2 by John Kimball

All seascapes are not sunny and peaceful … some are angry and full of destructive energy while being gloriously lovely and real … this photograph is one of them! This would make a great painting trying to capture the wind, blowing water and the beach stillness in total opposite contrast to the water. Try it .. show me how you did trying to paint the angry sea.

Angry Ocean 2 by John Kimball

For those wondering why I am not very active here at the moment - I have not had time to paint much recently between my very demanding day job and several doctor appts. plus I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis - it is pretty active right now and it still needs to be reined in like an unruly school child … LOL … once it is … I expect to be much less exhausted and have the energy to again do more than collapse in my office chair once I get home from work.

I think this angry seascape resonated with me so much tonite because I am VERY angry with the RA trying to take over my life … and I refuse to allow that to happen … but I do rest much more since I am so very tired … more so than before … and the doctor said that is unfortunately a part of the RA … in time, this too shall pass or I will adjust and force it to heel on command I LIKE painting and it is a very important part of my life … I WILL find my concentration again

I put the mermaid tails into a painting and named it Mermaid Games … Painting while trying to quit smoking … I would not suggest this as one of my better efforts … yet it is what I was seeing in my mind while thinking about not having painted mermaids like “all” the other artists … lol … no glamorous sexy girls with fish tails here … perhaps more like eels?

Perhaps all this oxygen getting to my brain since I quit smoking is playing havoc with my painting visions … or perhaps as usual, I have a vivid imagination that is a bit different from the rest of the world! The fishy tails are there for sure … but no gorgeous faces and long flowing dry hair in the water ;P
