When it’s both compelling and a little scary

I submitted this small work on paper to a gallery today. Wish me luck!

It’s still one of my favourite paintings from last year. I love that it so strongly evokes how the sea feels for me… so alive, and paradoxically both incredibly compelling and scary in its incredible power.

It’s how so many things I value in life feel. (Including stretching myself to share my work with galleries I admire!)
