Brilliant Blue Water

This abstract painting is inspired by the clear water in a mountain lake with mirrored clouds. The technique is a mixture of bold brushstrokes, palette knife, monotype and pouring of tinned paint on a textured canvas. The layers of paint create debt and gentle blending softens the transition of one color to another. The blue is dominant with shades of aqua, turquoise and brilliant ultramarine; it interacts with pure white and soft sage and gray. Deep navy blue adds drama and contrast. Decorative, dynamic and vivid, this painting conveys water and reflected sky.
