Light On the Bay was born from a windswept afternoon last April at Pacifica State Beach's PelicanFest, where I volunteered at Sanchez Art Center's booth helping visitors craft brown pelican masks. Between conversations, I found myself captivated by the sky. The wind that day was putting on quite a show, driving great sweeps of cloud across the water in constant, dramatic motion. I took photo after photo, unable to look away. Back in the studio, I spent months in the long push-and-pull of translating that memory into paint, building up layers of teal, gold, and variations of slate blue until the canvas held the same restless energy I'd felt on the beach. The result is my attempt to capture not just what that sky looked like, but what those powerful winds felt like: light, movement, and a bay caught mid-breath.
Light On The Bay ($2300) is currently available for purchase through the Sanchez Art Center.
