Inspired by popular Santa Monica Beach, this overhead view of a sandy textures and layered nuances of whimsical ocean washes brings to mind memories of a summer’s day.
My acrylic painting explores a playful and fanciful “slice” of beach as viewed from the top, like a satellite photo. Cerulean, teal and turquoise blues are layered through transparent like waters. Peach and chartreuse tones bring a sense of fun and frolic.
Raised in the country, I have closely observed earth’s formations which has become a thematic influence in my work. Beach images are inspired by microscopic patterns in tide marks, beach foam and ocean waves. They are expanded 1000%, using multiple transparent layers of acrylic paint and string impressions.
Through my artwork, I wish to share a vision for viewers to find a peaceful, serene place in their soul.
A “slice” from Santa Monica Beach” captures a joyful beach image with a unique sense of whimsy.
