A Blue Sea


The Mediterranean Sea at Cap Ferrat.  12x16 inches, oil on canvas panel.  I've always liked the words of Cezanne to Pissarro about painting the sea at L'Estaque: "red roofs against a blue sea," signifying the simplicity required for painting in the brilliant light of the south of France.
