This oil sketch captures the moody feeling of a storm gathering over the open sea. The top half of the painting is filled with heavy, dark teal clouds that feel thick with rain. In contrast, the water below is bright and calm, painted in a shimmering turquoise that catches the light. This sharp difference between the dark sky and the glowing water creates a sense of quiet tension across the horizon.
 
The piece focuses on the balance between the soft, rolling shapes of the clouds and the steady, flat ripples of the ocean. It is a simple but powerful look at how light and shadow move across the water, making a familiar scene feel both dramatic and still.
 
Painted in oil on primed watercolor paper, this original sketch is a powerful collector's piece. It is an emotional, concentrated study of the sea's beauty.
