Original artwork description:

A loose representation of a seated figure in profile on the right looking and/or moving toward the left is balanced in the middle and on the left with a very roughly realized abstract landscape/seascape.

The unstructured, almost random (yet recognizable) depiction of this space in tandem with the figure recalled to me (albeit loosely) while I was working on it, the fresh, organic flow of John Marin's sea and land paintings; thus the title in reference to that inspirational artist.

Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
