He grew up on the California coast, studied fine art in California and Oregon, and has been a professional artist since 1990. He works and shows his art at his Oceans and Dreams Studio\u00a0in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, plus in other galleries in Wisconsin and in Baja California.\u00a0Mothes enjoys ocean beaches and surf; and he intensely observes the energy, the light and the patterns that make ocean waves so captivating. The work in this show is the result of many hours of watching, sketching and recreating the movement of the waves he observes and photographs. He works primarily in graphite pencil,\u00a0acrylic on canvas, and\u00a0watercolor.\u00a0\u00a0<a title=\"Lee Mothes Website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceansanddreams.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.oceansanddreams.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Shorebreak_in_Extremis.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3564\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Shorebreak_in_Extremis.jpg\" alt=\"Mothes_3_Shorebreak_in_Extremis\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Shorebreak_in_Extremis.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Shorebreak_in_Extremis-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Shorebreak_in_Extremis-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Shorebreak_in_Extremis-1024x758.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shorebreak in Extremis<br \/>\nGraphite on rag paper<br \/>\n40&#8243; x 32&#8243;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_2_Gulls-and-Terns.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3383\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_2_Gulls-and-Terns.jpg\" alt=\"Mothes_2_Gulls and Terns\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_2_Gulls-and-Terns.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_2_Gulls-and-Terns-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_2_Gulls-and-Terns-1024x757.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nGulls and Terns<br \/>\nGraphite on rag paper<br \/>\n27&#8243; x 35&#8243;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Perigean-Tide.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3384\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Perigean-Tide.jpg\" alt=\"Mothes_3_Perigean Tide\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Perigean-Tide.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Perigean-Tide-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_3_Perigean-Tide-1024x758.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPerigean Tide 1<br \/>\nGraphite on rag paper<br \/>\n27&#8243; x 35&#8243;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_4_Fog_Sand_and_Foam.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3565\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_4_Fog_Sand_and_Foam.jpg\" alt=\"Mothes_4_Fog_Sand_and_Foam\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_4_Fog_Sand_and_Foam.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_4_Fog_Sand_and_Foam-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_4_Fog_Sand_and_Foam-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.promega-artshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Mothes_4_Fog_Sand_and_Foam-1024x762.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFog, Sand and Foam<br \/>\nGraphite on rag paper<br \/>\n27&#8243; x 35&#8243;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lee Mothes has been drawing and painting ocean and beach scenes most of his life.
