Restorative Surf
Acrylic with a splash of Ocean Wash on Canvas, in Custom Frame, 18" x 22" In "Restorative Surf" the focus is on the form and grace of the figure. She is relaxed and enjoying the splashes of the ocean while absorbing the restorative salty air, the refreshing breeze and the laughter of the gulls. Let your mind wander throughout the canvas so that you relive the joy and magic of a ocean.The nude is a classic subject for artists for its form and grace. I chose to use neutral colors so that skin color is not the focus, but rather the form. Using the loose lines of the figure allow her to rewind and radiate. The strokes beneath her seem to be the rain or ocean splashing around her. The curved shapes surrounding her could be light embracing her. And the wide brimmed-hat protects her while creating a solitude space to enjoy the moment. Allow your eyes and mind to wander throughout the canvas to gather impressions that bring you joy.
