“Blue Tube,” is a seductive invite from the sea to view its dynamic and magnetic power. Measuring 18×24 inches, the canvas is dominated by a large, central tube wave, which mesmerizes the viewer.
The brushwork is expressive and varied; thick techniques convey the froth and foam, while smoother, elongated strokes suggest the water’s surface tension and flow. The sky above is rendered in a gradient of grays, lending an atmospheric quality to an overcast day, focusing all attention on the wave itself. Here, the unpredictability of the ocean is presented as a force of nature to be challenged but yet respected. Barb’s ability to convey the ocean’s power, serenity and demand for respect within the same frame aims to communicate that the ocean and nature are in control.
