Waves at Sea Point |
I am an amateur artist trying to fit in a quick sketch or painting here and there. Fortunately, through my work as a geologist and as a kayaker, I get around to some amazing places and meet the most extraordinary people, and so there's always new material and ideas "brewing" on my mind, just waiting to hit the canvas.
I have a passion for water studies―especially rapids (and recently, sea waves)―and the next best thing to running and surfing them is painting them. My mission is to discover the art of capturing that sensation of raw power and beauty I feel when I'm out there. I love it: it's become part of my life just as exploring rivers has.
Any feedback and comments, friendly or harsh, will be greatly appreciated. Please add your comments (or use the Contact Me button) to my work and "crit" freely; I'd particularly welcome any tips or techniques from the experts out there and from those who have already mastered the game.
Most importantly, I hope this blog encourages you to put your hand to drawing and painting. It is a blast!
