First Light, Last Wave

First Light, Last Wave captures the ocean’s raw energy—a surge of green-toned waves rolling with force as one powerful wave crashes upward, frozen mid-spray. Above, three birds glide through shifting skies where clouds part just enough to reveal the first light of sunrise.

This scene embodies untamed movement and quiet resilience, where nature’s strength and beauty meet in a captivating rhythm. Inspired by memories of body surfing in Naples, Florida, the painting channels the exhilaration and freedom I experienced riding those waves.
