The sea calms us, it stirs us to thoughts of adventures, it pervades our imagination with its limitless horizons. Who would refuse the gift of a cruise on a beautiful, sun-flecked ocean? Even if you live inland from the sea or are perhaps a desert dweller, when you stand before a seascape, you are entranced. The endless waves, the spackle of the sun on far-flung foam, you are caught up in the painting. Already you have thought of a home for it, that certain wall where the painting will provide a break from the humdrum routine of life. Seascape paintings can do that for our souls.

From the perfectly-captured fisherman in Winslow Homer’s “The Gulf Stream” to Marek Wlodarski’s abstract seascapes of mid-20th century, the sea captures light in ways that other subjects do not. Light as seen through water, light hitting water and reflecting upon a mysterious seaside cave, what could be more challenging to an artist to portray? When fashioning seascape paintings, the abstract artist pulls from his palette the muted hues of a dawn sea, the full-out tones of the noontime and the shading into nighttime at purple dusk. Whoever purchases an abstract seascape can tell at a glance which of these moods of the sea graces the painting. You will have been glad to have selected such a wide-ranging source of enjoyment.
