The sea gathers itself and refuses to hold back.

Emerald Surge captures a breaking wave at full tension — luminous greens folding into deep ultramarine and cobalt blues. Light strikes the crest in flashes of yellow and seafoam, while thick, directional strokes pull the eye forward into motion and momentum.

Capsule Tales are narrative works as much as visual ones. Secured to the back of this original painting is a wax-sealed envelope containing a short, original story written specifically to accompany the piece. The story does not explain the wave — it extends it, offering a deeper current beneath the surface and inviting the collector into the atmosphere beyond the frame.

This original 11 x 14 mixed-media painting is created on canvas-covered board and sealed in clear resin to enhance depth and luminosity. It arrives ready to hang with hardware installed and includes a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the reverse.
