Blue in Motion I made this little piece the way I often approach the ocean: quietly at first, then all at once. The small scale pulls you in before you realise it, and once you’re close, the knives take over. Every sweep of blue and white is a gesture of motion — my own shorthand for water shifting, folding, gathering itself. I wasn’t painting a literal wave. I was chasing the feeling of one: that moment where the sea lifts and the light catches the surface just right. The palette stayed simple — moody blues, a breath of white, a whisper of earthy warmth underneath — because sometimes restraint tells the truer story. What I love about Blue in Motion is how the texture becomes part of the narrative. The ridges and peaks of oil paint feel like the sea interrupting itself. A kind of quiet turbulence. You can read it as a seascape, pure abstraction, or somewhere in between. That ambiguity is intentional; it leaves room for your own memory of water. For me, it’s a small piece with a big pulse — one of those minis that seems to keep moving even after the knives are down.
