Whitewash

Inspired by photographs I have taken along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, this large acrylic fluid painting captures the raw rhythm of the ocean as it meets the land.

Beside the soft sandy tones of the shoreline are flowing layers of blue and green water, mingling together with the expansive whitewash. The work reflects the constant movement of the sea, echoing the natural forces of tide, wind, and erosion that shape this coastline.

The art process:

This flow painting was created using a process whereby fluid acrylic paints, each carefully mixed with archival mediums, are poured directly onto the canvas. Rather than using brushes, the paints are guided by tilting the canvas or blowing with a hairdryer. This creates organic, flowing designs that reflect the spontaneity of nature itself.

High quality, archival products have been used ensuring the longevity of the piece, and each painting comes with a signed certificate of Authenticity. Because of the natural flow technique and the extended length of drying time, you may notice slight textures in the surface. These qualities confirm the painting’s authenticity as a unique, hand-painted work rather than a reproduction.

The paint continues over the side of the painting so that it can be hung as a complete art work without requiring an external float frame.

This painting is somewhat versatile in that it can be hung horizontally or vertically. For this reason I have signed on the back of the artwork.

I hope you find as much joy in the beauty and movement of this painting as I found in creating it.
