Chasing Waves

This artwork is on a gessoed panel measuring 298 mm by 298mm.
 
A simple palette of pale blue and copper gives the painting a contemporary feel.
Light dances on the ocean’s surface and delicate mark making gives the impression of waves at the base of the painting..
 
The artwork was created using a layering process which gives the artwork a visual depth. By using multiple layers of paint each sealed with medium a rich experience is created for the viewer. Light travels through each thin layer and then bounces back, rather like light shining through a stained-glass window. The colour assumes a richness created by the thin, glossy surface that seals each layer of paint.
 
The painting is cradled in a white bespoke frame 322 mm by 322mm.
