A VISION OF THE CLOUDS
FLOATING OVER THE SEA

A few people have mentioned that this work reminds them a
bit of Monet's lily pool paintings. I have taken a different route
artistically than the Impressionists in that I have given a visionary
or surreal texture and colorization to the cloud masses in this
picture.
