Oil on Panel, 11 × 14 inches, Unframed

A trough is the lowest point between two waves — that moment of suspension before the next swell rises. There's a stillness to it that I find compelling, a kind of held breath in the middle of all that motion. The blues here are deep and cool, the greens receding into them, and the whole panel has that quality of something paused between one state and the next.

This is the fourth in this small series of seascapes on panel. One of my favorite paintings is JMW Turner's Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps. Across these four paintings — Hannibal, Teetering, Squall, Blue Trough — I was tracing the arc of weather: its arrival, its turbulence, and then, in this painting, the quiet after.
