Twenty Shades Of Blue

Recently, looking at my painting of Oregon shore, I was asking myself how many times I've painted the water, waters of an ocean, lakes, sea or river?
And even though the answer was MANY.. I was curious to see the difference in the shades of blue; the blue blue water.

Water for me has some personal almost human qualities. The colors depend on the time of the the day, the light, the shadows; and, of course, the artist's mood, time put into painting, and professional choice of the color.

And here are just a few waters painted in the different places at different times.
The silver waters of A Foggy Morning At Crab Cove, Alameda, California:


Slowly building, soon ready to crush waves next to the shore in Boys And The Ocean painting:


Deep blue waters of the ocean during the sunny in Capitola, California. Two Umbrellas At The Beach painting:


and a very same day just a few hours later.
Two Chairs At The Beach painting:


Here is a foggy morning with wild emerald green waves in Carmel By The Sea, California:


and the same day, when Sun appeared, it made the water shine
(Carmel By The Sea, California)


Almost unbelievable Thalo and Ultramarine blue water in the painting A Coupe And The Sea:


Ready to storm yet still not dangerous waters in A Girl And The Ocean artwork:


If I were a poet I would write a poem devoted to Water; but, I am the Artist and I will keep painting Miss Water in all her shades of blue
