Story / Additional Info"Melodious Waves" is inspired by the rising and falling of Ocean waves. The sight and sound and volume of waves crashing on shore on the sand, pebbles or rocks presents me with an exciting comparison of the melody of Music as with the crescendo of musical notes. Therefore, it is painted in a breezy spontaneous style as an abstract reflection of music and ocean waves. Dramatic as the theme is, the colors are soothing and calming.

The theme of portraying the characteristics of both ocean waves and music as both transient and not stationery, is also inspired by the concept of the Impressionism, capturing fleeting moments in time.
