Laze Plume

3’x4’ Metallic Acrylic on canvas. 
I’m fascinated by nature and this piece is inspired by the process when a volcano erupts from the sea floor.  Laze is formed as hot lava boils seawater to dryness. The process leads to a series of chemical reactions that result in the formation of a billowing white cloud composed of a mixture of condensed seawater steam, hydrochloric acid gas, and tiny shards of volcanic glass
