Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the east coast. How could I capture the intensity, ferocity, of the waves on canvas? I could feel the roaring throughout my body when painting these pieces, yet I knew the only way I could possibly convey the intensity of the water was to allow that energy to funnel through me and explode onto the canvas. I used a palette knife for heavy application of paint, and threw the paint at the canvas; it splattered and splashed as the wave crashed into the surf.
