I began this composition with a series of parallel lines that I drew free-handed. I was thinking of Paul Klee’s compositions that consist of adjacent strips of color. Some of his compositions are made up of seemingly random squares of colors, arrayed in parallel configurations.
I used the parallel lines as a skeleton on which to hang colors of the sea.

I’ve wrestled with representing the sea myself; this is a wonderful solution. (K)
Thanks, K. Yes, it seems to have worked as a sea scape, not so much as a Klee-like composition. But I still claim his work as its inspiration.

I love the calm look and yet it’s not a static sea – the waves are rolling in. I love it
Thanks, Claudia. I was trying to get the different colors I see sometimes, when watching the ocean.
