Hey Paul! 👋 Reshaping colors and textures to get the feeling instead of the details is honestly the whole chase in abstraction. The coastal-inspired work sounds like a good fit for what gets talked about here. What pulled you toward the sea as your subject?
The coastal abstraction angle is solid, you're letting the ocean do the structural work while you handle the mood. That's the right order. Looking forward to seeing how you push color against memory of place.
