A few years ago I watched a PBS art show about painting waves. I wanted to try it but did not have a big canvas at that time, so I took, four 11 x 14 canvases and attached them together with a board. I painted the picture and then took the board off the back. The individual canvases can be separated a few inches and hung on the wall. It was a different way of painting that tried a few different time. I like the effect very much. I sold it to my neighbors, down the street, who liked it very much as well.
Rolling waves churning
immense power lies beneath
Parting waves calms storm
Painting of Waves: Dwight L. Roth
I have myself tried painting waves so many times, watched many tutorials but haven’t been as to make it look like a wave yet. But this is so beautiful ❤

Thank you so much! I think it is the contrast between dark and light colors that makes it work.

I like the 4 sections. I’ve seen painting hung in galleries in sections but they hung with a small gap between. Very clever, Dwight, you are.

Yes, when this is hung it would be separated by an inch or so… Thank very much for your comment.

I have seen some three section and four section paintings before, but on simpler subjects. Getting the texture of the waves right across multiple boards must be challenging. And the waves look absolutely beautiful Dwight, love that idea.

Dwight, I know that it is not easy to paint waves. You did it wonderfully. I like the idea of putting four small canvases together to create a larger painting. I like to visit exhibitions and then I saw that several canvases were hung next to each other, so that a large painting in landscape format is created. They each hung a few inches apart.
I wish you success and fun with your art, Dwight.
