Inspired by the Boardwalk of Galveston Pier, the piece evokes foreboding for hard times ahead through the violent waters. The dark green waves, detailed with white highlights, represent the sea's tumultuous nature. The light reflecting off their crests adds a touch of serenity amidst the chaos. The bold and expressive brush strokes infuse a sense of movement into both the water and sky, making the scene come alive. The contrast between the dark turbulent waters and the illuminating sky narrates a story of conflict yet beauty, chaos yet harmony. The contrasting mood of the water and sky shows a rift between the two, adding onto the uneasiness of the scene. It's a narrative of conflict and harmony, chaos and serenity, all captured through the medium of oil paints.
