Swell A169017 The joy of becomingThis painting feels like a single rising wave under soft lightcalm but powerful, with that quiet horizon and the deep green water carrying a sense of movement. It has a very meditative seascape mood. Created with oil paint and cold wax medium using non traditional tools such as silicone bowl scrapers, brayers, and palette knives. On wood panel with painted sides. Wired and ready to hang.
