Pathway to the Ocean

                                              "Pathway to the Ocean"  30x40" Oil on Canvas
My latest creation!  I just signed the finished painting moments ago. This painting gives the viewer a calm, serene feeling as if you are sitting on a dock, boat or beach chair enjoying the refreshing sea breezes and seaglass colors of the water. The reflections of the water seem to mesmerize you, allowing you to be relax, ponder and put off, until later, all the things you needed to do!
