"Splashed! II" is a vivid and dynamic painting capturing the mesmerizing interplay between the sky and ocean at either sunrise or sunset. Measuring 16 x 20 inches, this acrylic masterpiece brings to life an awe-inspiring ocean scene filled with energy and color. The sky transitions through a stunning gradient — from deep purple at the top, descending through rich oranges, and culminating in warm reds. Nestled just above the ocean horizon, a bright yellow sun radiates warmth and tranquility.

Below the tranquil sky, the ocean commands attention with its tumultuous waves rendered in striking shades of blue and white. The frothy, foamy waves crash dramatically in the foreground, created with expressive, splattering brushstrokes that capture the raw, vibrant energy of the sea. The contrast between the serene sky and lively, splashing waves creates a captivating visual experience, showcasing nature's dramatic beauty in a powerful and moving way.

Inspired by an early morning scene in Algoma, Wisconsin, where the rising sun casts beautiful colors onto the clouds and Lake Michigan below, this artwork portrays the splashes that occur as high waves hit a cement pier on a windy day. The painting not only depicts a specific moment but also evokes the powerful emotional response that such natural beauty can inspire. The light and color reflections, coupled with the sense of motion in the waves, make this piece a remarkable celebration of the vigorous yet delicate dance of nature.
