"Light Rays" 32x30 oil $975
The "Art of Waterways" Statement
There is a fascinating world beneath the surface of the sea, where light, temperature, and current transform shape and color. Typically, these features cannot be seen, especially not at a distance. Instead, we blend colors and see what the brain is expecting to see (e.g., solid blue or green water). For this reason, we do not see purple mixed with green waters with orange sun-reflected highlights.
Since I have witnessed such transformations from early childhood on, I want viewers to also appreciate these changes, and thus invite you to enter into this water world.
Process. I often use pastels and watercolors to capture some local color from the sea. In later studio painting, I work in layers to capture underlying features and my contemporary interpretations of water, its energy, emotion, and continuity. This process goes beyond copying a seascape.
Art Work Sizes Medium sized (e.g., 20x30") and large paintings (e.g., 44x28”) are more interpretive, whereas smaller artworks, including encaustics, capture an abstract version (see below). TO PURCHASE a painting, such as the above, which is archival and not a print or giclee, which fade overtime 1) you can attend my Open Studios in 2021 October 9-10 & 16-17, or 2) you can email me: sydney@zentall.com and then send a check to Sydney Zentall 316 Walk Circle Santa Cruz CA 95060. ( I rarely ship encaustic paintings unless climate conditions are stable 40-125 degrees F), or use SQUARE by sending info so I can key it into Square. They take about 3.5% + tax, and will send me the remaining amount. I will send you a receipt and delivery confirmation,
