Ocean Blues

Welcome to a new challenge I have set myself, totally different to my representational work.
This is another one in my intuitive art series, where I just go by my feelings and imagination, keeping to my love of organic lines and shapes. "Ocean Blues" inspired by our summers and welcomes you to imagine the beautiful azure blues of our coastal beaches and how the ocean is teeming with strange life beneath the surface.
I started with a base coat of Prussian blue mixed with white. Once dry, with dollops of various colours, I used a palette knife to create various organic shapes, (some with impasto effects) followed by heavy pigmented inks of blues, turquoise and white, within and around the shapes, letting them spread and mingle.
May this painting bring you joy and peace with it's many azure blue tones.
