Pacific18 x 24
pastel on recycled Wallis paper
"... these are the times of dreamy quietude, when beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean's skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and would not willingly remember, that this velvet paw but conceals a remorseless fang."Herman Melville

Wonderful! The pacific is big! Your pastel work shows this.
I see some Kitty Wallis in your work, and I hope you take that as a great compliment, which is what I intend.
I like how the clouds are echoed in the water area..and the colors are dream-y
Katherine,
This has HUGE depth. Very well done.
Casey, thanks for the compliment, both to my influence and to me. I'm proud to be seen in Katherine's work. She is developing into a Fine artist.
beautiful painting and quote.

Your painting and the Melville quote are both as pacific and deep as that ocean. They make this a beautiful post.
Thanks, Casey. I do consider your comment a compliment. Thank you.
