'Rhapsody N' Blue' (24H x 48L")
The "Art of Waterways" Statement
There is a fascinating world above and beneath the surface of the sea, where light, temperature, and currents transform shape and color. These features often cannot be seen, especially not at a distance. At a distance, 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 sun-reflected orange highlights.
Since I have witnessed such transformations from early childhood, often while swimming in the sea, I want viewers to also appreciate these changes, and thus invite you to enter into this water world.
Process. I do not copy my own or others work. All paintings are originals and unique. Pastels and watercolors often begin my process to capture some local color. In later studio painting, I work in layers to capture the 3-dimensionality of water and my understandings the varying moods of water. Art Work Sizes Medium (e.g., 20x30"). Large art works (e.g., 44x28”) are more interpretive and energetic, whereas smaller works, including encaustics, often capture an abstract version (see below).
TO PURCHASE an original painting, which is unique (i.e.,not a print). Even giclee prints fade over time, do not capture depth, and do not vary under different home lighting conditions. Please email me: sydney@zentall.com or visit me at 316 Walk Circle Santa Cruz CA 95060. ( I rarely ship encaustic paintings unless climate conditions are stable 40-125 degrees F).
