Surreal Wave

Late at night as I look out of my window across the wide expanse of the lake that surrounds me. I see the darkness split open by a flashing explosion of charged particles illuminating the rolling sea around me. What grandeur and power there is in this undulating wetness that slaps the shoreline with a primal creative ferocity that only Nature can muster. All manner of creatures, including myself, seek refuge when the demiurge hurls it's lightning bolts and causes the sea to boil and roll. My attempt to capture this moment with my oils can only mirror a small part of what my soul feels. I am humbled by my ineptitude to seize, with my paints and canvas, this spectacular, unfolding and panoramic event. The ancients have said that "a picture is worth a thousand words". My wish is that this picture in some small way does exactly that. visionary imagist "Joey"

Beautiful painting...caught the light just perfect...:)) Have you ever seen the tiny universe in the water at night time, Joey?? They are like little stars everywhere inside the water... This painting brought back some nice memories... thanks~!!

Visionary Imagist
Artist Reply: Bluemoonshadow: To see the universe in a drop of water or a grain of sand is mystical and quite beautiful too. I value the moments spent in doing such fine enterprises such as you have said. The world would be a much better place if all took time to do so. Namaste! My friend!

Wonderful draw into the waves, I could get lost in this work. That I guess is the danger of natures fury. We must take better care of the world. Wonderful work. I think you accomplished anger and beauty.

I think that you have very well succeeded in mirroring, Joey. It's like I can feel the wind and smell the water. It's wonderful how you captured the darkness in it, it will have been difficult to not just paint dark coloured water, but really the light coming through. Great painting!

Visionary Imagist
Artist Reply: Anneke: I really enjoy taking my oils and allowing them to take me on a journey into my canvas. It is so freeing to have fun painting. I am glad that you enjoyed my attempt. Always enjoy hearing your words. Thank you my friend!
