Internal Waves: Still Waters Run Deep. Or Bumpy.

December 2, 2019

New Series: Internal Waves

I love the ocean and it inspires much of my work.  I have been working on a series of paintings of internal waves. Waves happen where fluids of different densities come in contact: air and water, oil and vinegar, and fresh and salt water. You may have seen internal waves in real life if you ever watched oil and vinegar slosh back and forth while making salad dressing.

Internal waves in the ocean are found below the surface at the boundary between warm and/or fresh surface water and cold, salty, deep water. When currents force deep water to flow over bumpy seafloor features like seamounts, internal waves form.

Internal waves don’t create surface waves, and only show up on the surface as slicks of flat shiny water. I love the idea that the deep ocean is active in ways that are not revealed on its visible skin. There may be more going on than is apparent at the surface.

You can see them in real life this week at our:
