I chose this artwork because I like to be at the beach. I enjoy stepping on the sand and into the cold ocean water, while building sand castles and collecting sea shells. What I find fascinating about the ocean water is how they have the white texture at the end of the tide, and how the ocean is darker the deeper it gets. I tried to paint the ocean before in an art class I took outside of school where I tried to incorporate these concepts. Seeing the painting, it reminds me of my experience of playing at the beach and also drawing nature in my art class.
