Leasure loves to portray the marine life clinging to the rocks as they sway with the ebb and flow of the changing tides. One aspect of Leasure’s artwork aside from his unique subject matter is his ability to render water so realistically. How does he make a still, two-dimensional surface dance with liquid and translucence? Be sure to enjoy the many glistening creatures and all the movement of this fascinating work of art.

An early painting in a series named “Receding Tides”, this unique painting portrays the interaction of seawater and the rocks present at the tidal ebb and flow. Lit by the late sun, the rocks glow orange. Late day lighting also contributes to the deeper shadows in the sea foam. Can you see the motion in the water? Can you smell the salty sea life clinging to the rocks? Leasure loves to present us with little sea creatures clinging to the rocks. Muscles and Barnacles remain shiny as they emerge from the receding sea foam. The tidal water drags the kelp along its path as it is sucked in before the ocean again breaths its liquid breath. The third painting in a series named “Receding Tides”, this unique painting portrays the interaction of seawater and the rocks present at the tidal ebb and flow of the Pacific Ocean. Audaciously, the artist has rendered an incoming wave at the very instant it is to impact the rocks bearing sea stars barnacle muscle and coral. In this hand painted oil art, Leasure has shown us the translucent turquoise nature of the incoming sun lit salt water. The Jagged orange rock seems to be ‘cocked’ forward as if to be offering resistance to the incoming wave that is about to dash it and splash it. As usual, Leasure’s coral reef wall art adds movement and color to any room. Zoom in on this hand painted wall art with a click of the mouse by viewing it in the Ocean Reef section of the art gallery. The original has sold. Archival quality art prints are available.

This oil painting was commissioned for the Vanderpoel collection. I was happy to do it as it was an opportunity to revisit a previous painting, “Tidal Churning”. As popular as that work was, I saw this commission as an opportunity to improve on the rendering of that special moment. In the first work, I used acrylic paints. In this work, I painted with oils. Many hours were spent up at night, studying just how to capture the essence of the sea foam as it crashed and lapped against the wonderful sea life clinging to the rocks during low tide.

It was evening and the sun was getting ready to set in about a half an hour. The special warm light of the setting sun offered a cozy setting. The ocean creatures were aglow with the dusk ambiance. I thought it was wonderful how the anemone tentacles, because of their translucence, absorbed the mood of this evening spectrum and began to glisten with it. Watching the sea foam run off the rocks and around the muscles and seaweed gave me a sense of being refreshed. The receding frothy salt water trickled and sparkled around the lumps and bumps made up of sea moss, “china man hats” (chiton), seaweed, muscles, barnacles, sea grass and sea stars. As the late sunrays penetrated the greenish, gray waters it made me want to dive in and commune with the creatures of the sea. Sadly but gladly I am not so close a part of their ecological system as that.
