This early-morning wave shows all the beauty and tremendous power of ocean water in motion. When that early morning light illuminates the crest of a wave, we can see the structure of its motion more clearly--the way the wave spins, curves, curls, and breaks. The immense weight and density at its base all the way to the thin, nearly transparent crest that forms a knife edge at the top, in constant motion as it swiftly rushes to shore. What continually inspires me is the idea of painting this energy, lit up by the morning light.
