Rhapsody on the Sea incorporates the information gleaned from several studio experiments with acrylics, acrylic media, and media that mix well with acrylic. The earlier studio experiments suggested some new ideas to try and incorporate.

In other works extruded transparent and translucent media were layered over and under liquid media of varying transparency, translucency and tint. This approach creates a transparent paint film with a tangible depth. Ghostly textures can be incorporated into the transparent film by layering extruded heavy gels under the more liquid media. Marbled effects are achieved by tinting liquid media. Combinations of metallic paint, powder and foil create active metallic areas with a lot of movement.

These ideas are all incorporated into Rhapsody on the Sea, creating an abstracted seascape that is textured, turbulent, full of soft detail down to the microscopic level, active and changeable.

New ideas are incorporated as well.
