Surf´s Up

$175.00

2026
Salted watercolor on 100% cold pressed cotton pape
6” x 10”
Matted to approx. 4" larger on each dimension

Surf’s Up is a captivating, intimate exploration of the raw and atmospheric power of the sea. Despite its deliberate 6” x 10” proportions, the artwork possesses an expansive presence, drawing the viewer directly into the heart of a crashing wave cycle, capturing the transitional moment where heavy surf shatters into coastal mist, balancing the heavy, grounding weight of the ocean against an airy, cloud-filled horizon.The defining feature of this piece is the masterful integration of chemical texture. By introducing salt crystals into the wet pigment, the watercolor was coaxed into blooming into thousands of tiny, organic crystals. This specialized technique perfectly mimics the physical reality of ocean spray, sea foam, and briny sea air, adding a tactile dimension that standard brushwork cannot achieve.
