Blue Day

Having visited the Dalmatian coast for the first time I was transfixed by the beautiful waters. I am making a body of work based on my visit and will be adding more. I shall be printing and doing more mixed drawing and paintings to provide a sense of place. on this piece I thoroughly enjoyed working in layers of texture, adding gesso and fixing in layers. I think some of these may work well together, I used a mock up image to give an idea.

Swirling eddies of deep cerulean and indigo create a turbulent atmosphere, immersing the viewer in an ever-changing seascape. This composition reflects the expressive qualities typical of abstract expressionism while possessing a distinct, almost tactile quality that warrants closer examination. Skillful manipulation of light and shadow emphasizes the movement and volume within each wave. The arrangement of various shades of blue and white provides a vivid contrast, portraying the essence of water in constant motion. Textured brushstrokes add a tangible richness, enhancing the immersive experience. There's an undeniable feeling of fluidity that resonates, mirroring the captivating movement of the ocean's surface.
