An oil painting of serene waves in a tranquil ocean, with a wale cresting the surface of the water in thezoom. Here, the water evokes a sense of tranquillity and harmony. It is a reminder of the wonder and strength of nature, and the necessity of treasuring our environment. To me, the ocean symbolises the subconscious and slumber. The variety of weather conditions reflect the multitude of stories and emotions held within the dreaming mind. This painting is ready to hang, as the painting continues onto the sides of the canvas and is varnished to protect the paint surface from UV light and dust.
