Have you ever been on a drift dive? It's an amazing feeling of going with the flow. You don't fight it; you just position your body like a sail. Imagine being carried by gentle currents past coral reefs, where nothing is clearly defined, and everything forms a vibrant mosaic of colours and patterns. Or imagine exiting an underwater cave, gliding past rock columns shaped by time.
Drift diving is a bit like life, with a cadence where details come in and out of focus as things feel as if they're speeding up or slowing down, bringing movement and change. This feeling inspired my diptych painting, "Life's Cadence." Using deep blues, rich reds, purples, pewter, and gold, I aimed to capture the energy and rhythm of life beneath the waves. You'll see hints of coral shapes that appear and disappear in a moment, with strong vertical brushstrokes that evoke feelings of movement and change.
As you take in this painting, I hope you'll feel the same sense of awe, wonder, and transition that I experience while exploring the underwater world. "Life's Cadence" is an acrylic on canvas diptych (two separate panels). It invites you to connect with the ocean's magic, to embrace the rhythm and changing patterns of life, and to find joy in the beauty that surrounds us.
