Coastal inspired contemporary abstract textured painting; one of a series exploring the sandstone coastline.
Imagine yourself on a blustery day at the beach, mesmerised by the waves crashing on the rocky shoreline and feel the light mist of spray on your face. This painting captures the ocean as it meets the rocky sandstone shore; waves and sea spray over traces of iron ore.
From the Sediments of Time series which expands the theme of my recent collections exploring Australiaβs unique ecosystem, diverse topography, and colour. This series depicts the rich sandstone which adorns Australia's coastline, its undulating permutations, variation in colour and grain and the strata layers of natural sediment, nooks crannies and hidden gems deposited and buried long ago.
Approximately 15 layers of acrylic medium and paint are used to build the relief texture, colour overlay and detail. Accents of glass beads provide a hint of shimmer. Shapes and contours are carved into the medium, using mostly non-traditional objects. Canvas is stretched and ready to hang.
These smalls are designed to hang on the wall or stand on a surface/table top/counter (the 5.5cm deep sides make them very stable). Add more smalls and/or minis to create a diptych or triptych or build a collection of minis from other series. Pairs wonderfully (as illustrated in one of the images above) with 'Traces in Time' and 'Moments in Time'.
Sides are cleanly painted a light beige colour to match the background; will hang with or without the frame or change to a frame of your choice. Comes framed in Tasmanian oak.
