Somedays, I like to disappear and spend time alone in the middle of the vortex. For whatever reason, I seek out and find myself utterly connected and in-the-moment in such a place as this. The combination of the danger, the stability of the rocks, and the absolute craziness of the sea, with the powerful light falling across it always makes a tremendous impact on me. It’s just like life, and I admire it. And that’s a marvelous standpoint from which to compose and paint.
This composition came as a result of one of these afternoons. I took the time to carve out a sketchbook drawing as a reminder, but am already so taken with the place that I intend to return in a day and begin an oil sketch. More to come…
