This oil painting, “Morning Blues,” sized 16×20, presents a dynamic seascape that encapsulates the vigor of the ocean under a vast, expressive sky. The canvas is awash with varying shades of blue suggesting the cool, crisp air of the morning.
The sky is an expanse of layered clouds, brushed with a lightness that suggests the gentle clearing of the night’s shadows. The suggestion of light breaking through hints at the sun’s climb, just out of sight, beginning to cast its warmth over the world. These cloud formations stretch across the canvas, providing a sense of the expansive atmosphere above.
Below, the sea is depicted in a state of awakening, with waves rolling in powerful succession toward the viewer. The contrast between the peaceful sky and the energetic sea creates a harmonious balance, reflecting the dual nature of the ocean’s persona.
“Morning Blues” is a testament to the serene and meditative qualities of the sea, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil yet potent spirit of the ocean at dawn. Barb’s use of the blue spectrum encapsulates the essence of the sea, inviting onlookers to dive into the depths of her maritime muse.
