Often what makes something special cannot be put into words. Descriptions can frustrate, when the experience becomes an intangible feeling. This, as you will find in Pierce's artist statement is the highest aim of his seascape series. And this piece is arguably his most successful in that regard. Standing before a full size "New Day" has brought at least one person to tears. Many others have been captivated enough to make this piece the most popular in the series. The mixture of hope, newness, peace, depth, beauty, mystery, and tranquility stirring within "New Day" give this piece it's impact.

This piece is a museum quality photograph, created and signed by the artist in his Santa Barbara studio.
