Ocean Landscapes-samples from the portfolio

Fluid Movement, Gulf Of Mexico-NCaptiva Island                                              by Sarah Brown

This is one of my favorite prints. I love the way the water feeling slipping up over my toes and gently back into itself. I was highly influenced Mondrian, Rothko (an all time favorite), and even underpinnings of abstract reaslism. Summertime always sends me back to the painters...and the museums since Florida's summers are hot!

 I was out in the land of finance capturing these women at their best. I still feel the capture is my favorite part because I love the creating and act of portraiture.

Summertime in South Florida

I don't know about you, but I am ready for summertime. Yes, South Florida becomes a hot and humid environment, and the sand is so hot you can burn the bottom of your feet. BUT, the ocean comes alive beckoning me to cool off. The tourists and snowbirds have all returned home. The locals roam. It is almost as if the seasonal change brings an entirely new part of the tropical life. My summer field work can be buggy; although, I value my alone time with little interruption. Maybe I just enjoy the slower pace heat brings. There is something to be said for being still or at least moving slower. I think we become more present when we are not stretched in a zillion directions. Of course, mindfulness is my consistent antidote.

As I am looking forward to the swimming weather, my Oceanana portfolio is really coming together. Since I am such a stickler for presentation, I am creating 15 BW's and 15 Color prints that will be for sale individually and as a portfolio encased in a bound linen book(10 editions) . This has been a great portfolio to work on since I wrote a new course curriculum for those advanced tween and teen artists wanting to create a body of work, use as an application portfolio for the local Art Schools/programs, and for those wanting exposure into the process. I do offer this for adults as well.

HERE'S TO SUMMER:

May is here....

I am amazed by how fast the Spring went by. The summer humidity and heat are encroaching.
I always get a little melancholy around this time of year before mother's day, my sister's birthday, and summertime. My Pompano Beach exhibit is this Friday night from 6-9 at Grieght Spaces. Pompano throws a huge street party closing off the East Atlantic Blvd for walking and mingling. I heard they also have fabulous music. I'll be sure to post some photos from the evening.

We are prepping for summer with some late Spring cleaning. For all you photography collectors, I am cleaning out my drawers with some amazing prices. I have a lot planned of field work planned over the summer and need to make space for new work. Oceanana, my Ocean Landscape work, will continue to be exhibited locally. I am currently working on a book to accompany the printed work.

More to come of course so stand by for exhibit announcements and news!
