"Sleepy Sea"

12"x12" Oil/Linen Panel, painted alla prima, en plein air on location at Sullivan's Island, SC

As I drove to our painting location this particular morning, the weather was very foggy. While painting this one, the sun was slowly rising and burning off the fog and it made the atmosphere very "warm." The ocean was like glass and everything seemed to still be asleep. This was a very tranquil and quiet morning to paint; almost Zen-like.
