Abstract Expressionism and the Ocean: 'Wind Blows North”

Living just a few blocks from the ocean has its perks. One of my favorite things to do is head down to the shore when it's stormy. There's something about feeling the wind and rain coming off the ocean that just gets the creative juices flowing. "Wind Blows North" is a reflection of those stormy days. Abstract expressionism is all about letting go and allowing the paint to guide you. For this piece, I used aggressive brushstrokes and splatters to convey the chaotic energy of a storm. The colors are bold and dynamic, with splashes of yellow, black, and white against a blue background. "Wind Blows North" isn't just about a storm. It's about the feeling of being alive, of standing on the edge of something powerful and uncontrollable. It's about embracing the chaos and finding beauty in it.
