In this moody exploration of Corona Del Mar's tidal pools, the artist employs a more somber palette, creating what might be called a visual Minor Key. Dark tones dominate, punctuated by moments of light, echoing deep shadows in rocky pools accented by notes ofreflected light.

The painting creates a contemplative atmosphere, with a dramatic interplay of geological forms, water, and light. In this painting the artist invites us to experience the tidal zone from a different emotional perspective.
