Ocean Glow – Abstract Prints by Susan Stone

Description

Ocean Glow

Ocean Glow is an oil on handmade panel – painted plein air out back.  With the incredible skies at any time of day in beautiful Southern California, I often paint outside.  I sketch every morning to start my workday at the easel and often wander around my favorite beaches with my sketchbook “sourcing” colors.  I marvel at so many artists’ work, the plein air painters and their ability to capture astounding colors and light that changefulness of the pacific ocean all in a day’s time – too many to name – however the California Art Club and the book ‘Painting California’ is a great place to start.  I don’t ever finish pieces when I pack up my little easel, sketch box and oils but I always come away incredibly inspired.  To really look at all that beauty all day feeds your soul in ways a million words here cannot describe – simplifying colors on a grander scale back at home, defining those vast horizons with color and hopefully the joy, calm and healing that the beautiful landscape from coast to coast and in between has always given me.  The day I painted this the sky was grey and cool all day we were all outside doing what have you and I could tell something lovely was going to happen so I grabbed my “stuff” and set up I had this old scrap of panel that wasn’t even mounted and just worked quickly with those beautiful colors thinking I would just get a sketch out of it for color reference and it just happened – the original has sold but thanks to Phil Stone and the photographer that did the digital imaging of this piece it is one of our favorite fine art prints.  The colors are extraordinary just like that sunset that lit up the ocean after such a chilly day.  Those warm hues that turned the greys to Prussians and ceruleans warming up the ocean – a glow.  We installed this gorgeous print locally last year and in conversation she had said “the sunset looked just like this the other night, and it made me even more excited to purchase this piece!”  People often send me photos saying the “sky reminds me of one of your paintings” and / or comment about how my work makes thinks about a favorite sunrise or sunset.  Those comments bring me to a place that again, as a painter I cannot describe here – that connection is so important to me.
