099SHOW PREVIEWings touch on this nostalgia and strike a
chord with the viewer or collector,” the
artist says. “I also think people are drawn
to water. Water is mystical, spiritual and
people feel closer to God. There is also a
bit of unknown danger to it. The sea has
produced so many stories and history. It
draws us to it in every aspect and in every
form it presents to us.”
Brown likes to think of an old passage
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: “My soul
is full of longing for the secret of the sea,and the heart of the great ocean sends a
thrilling pulse through me.”Gleason Fine Art
