This painting, titled “Sky to Sea,” is a serene and expansive portrayal of the horizon where the sky meets the ocean. Measuring 15×30 horizontal this piece demonstrates an expressive blend of light and color to capture the ethereal quality of a coastal sky. The top of the canvas is a dance of light and airy clouds, with blues, whites, and hints of warmth suggesting the sun is hidden just out of view, casting a gentle glow.
Barb’s technique in “Sky to Sea” evokes a moment of stillness and peace, where the viewer can feel the expansiveness of the ocean and the boundless sky above. It is as if one is standing at the water’s edge, looking out into the distance and being enveloped by the vast, open space. The horizontal format of the canvas further emphasizes the wide stretch of the scene, inviting contemplation and a sense of connection with the natural world.
