The Caribbean (Unframed original abstract acrylic painting on stretched canvas, 36 x 36 inches)
(2021. Unframed, Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 36 inches)
Pale green and aqua. White reflections of light. The clearest shallow waters with white sand beneath. That is the memory I have of wading in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Belize and Costa Rica. Though done in acrylic on stretched canvas, the results of my method resemble a block printed cloth, dyed batik or screen-printed fabric. I used hundreds of tiny hand cut stencil masks arranged and adhered one by one and then brushed fluid paint over them to give the sense of fabric dye over a painted wax design.
The under layer is actually a variety of very pale greens and not a solid flat white similar to how a bit of the top color seeps under the wax-resist pattern in dying a batik print. The 1.5 inch deep wooden sides are a clean bright white.
UNFRAMED. Depictions of works in frames and in situ are just to give a sense of scale and to know how they would look once framed.
All prices include free shipping within the United States via UPS ground shipping. A tracking number will be provided.
