Calm Sea

Calm Sea
Image Size 24" x 8"
Acrylic

I didn't have a lot of time to paint this week so I did this simple painting.  I did a base coat of a dark blue (top) turquoise, (middle) and ochre (bottom) and after that dried, I coated the canvas with gesso in a random pattern which created that great texture in the painting.  Then I finished the painting with a combination of pouring and painting.

  4. My first thought was, she is going abstract. Reads as a picture but each section commands attention. Like the colors and textures in this one Nancy.
