Wave in Pre-Dawn Light

Wave in Pre-Dawn Light is also based off of a photograph from the trip to Long Beach. I worked toward an even more simplified version of the wave form, drawing the eye to the place on the lower left side of the painting where the wave meets the sand and there is a little reflection indicated. A sense of deep inner stillness is important to this piece. in this place there is no sound but one's own breathing and the ebb and flow of the ocean.

This canvas is proportioned according to the golden ratio, which gives it somewhat unusual dimensions. Use of the golden ration was popular in Renaissance art. For this painting, I felt that these proportions would work well for the subject matter and I was pleased with the result.
