Sparkly Beach Days

30”x30” acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas 2020

Details: Black hashmarks were the starting point of this composition, washed over with translucent washes of aquas, blues, and glowing yellow ochre. Interest and texture were built by adding thicker patches of more blue and aqua hues and adding in a shade of sunny tan that suggests sandy beaches. A singular swipe of textured gold picks up shimmery metallic details sprinkled over the composition, and a pattern of gray fine lines create energy in the lower right corner. An unexpected treat of frosting-like pats of thick-bodied paint crawl up the bottom left corner of the painting, like froth on white-capped waves.
