Ready, Here it Comes is all anticipation—the ocean gathering itself, the body ready to meet it. Richard Wieth stages the figure at the tideline, letting lively whites and pale blues sparkle around poised legs. Sunlight glances off the surface in short, assertive strokes; quieter passages hold the horizon steady. The painting reads fast and true from a distance, then opens to nuanced color relationships as you step closer.
 
 
Wieth’s impressionist language is about trust: he trusts the viewer to complete the moment, to feel the next heartbeat as wave meets skin. This selective detail—clarity where it matters, suggestion where it doesn’t—keeps the work airy and modern. It’s the kind of piece that lifts a space without demanding it, a daily reminder that joy can be as simple as watching water arrive.
