"Smooth Activeness"


One of my goals is to travel to California to see one of my best friends and get on a surfboard. I know I'll at least get to see her son surfing, though! I love water and the ocean, and I enjoy seeing the light blues mixed in with dark splashes and swirls. It's so smooth even though it's very active. That paradox fascinates me. So in this drawing, I put the circles in with sharp angles to show the "smooth activeness" I feel when I'm in water. The result I see is relaxing and yet moving me forward at the same time. I like it, and I'd like to play with it using paint.
