“In the Waves” is an acrylic painting on a 18×21 inch stretched canvas with a frame. I enjoyed the layers of glazing to capture all of the different colors in the ocean that day, as I walked along the beach with my mother. This beautiful woman walked out with her dog and I asked permission to photograph her for a reference photo…so glad she agreed. I originally titled this piece Let’s Play Fetch.

This painting received a first place ribbon at the Yosemite Sierra Artists annual show and competition in 2019.
