Ocean Wash and Acrylic on Canvas, in Gold Floating Frame, 12" x 12" Artist Statement: Each Ocean Wash produces a new creative challenge I look forward to meeting. In this Ocean Wash "From Sea to Shining Sea", the canvas revealed distinct red, white and blues with golden accents. Intuitively or, perhaps, subliminally, it spoke patriotic and American. The eagle is truly a majestic bird to represent and symbolize our country. The unfurling of the red and white stripes seems to give way to the flight of an eagle as it travels from “sea to shining sea”. Poetic imagery.
