Like many things in nature, the sea is far from constant.

Its temperamental, its moods sometimes shifting within the same hour, but thats precisely whatScott Laurensonis drawn to.

At times, his compositions radiate serenity, each ocean wave a translucent blue beneath a clear sky.

Other times, his paintings are explosive, sea mist flying into the air as waves crash into themselves.

Thats where I find my inspiration.

These paintings are not just exercises in realism, but in texture.
