What am I looking at?
All the blues. The underlying surface has been lightly sculpted with an undulating surface texture, which was prepared with acrylic medium and composite gilding. The transparent and semi-transparent layers of oil and cold wax layer in blues from purplish indigo to greenish teals. The darker depths give way to a lighter area near the top, as if you are looking up towards the surface of water from underneath. The reflective surface of the gilding allows light to bounce back from the surface, depending on the angle of the viewer and the light source, so the painting seems to glow slightly.
How big is it?
This is the approximate scale of a 24x36" painting, compared to a person who is 5' 8" tall:

Shipping & Returns
Local Pickup: no charge
If you pick up at the studio, I will appropriately wrap the painting for hand-carry transport at no charge. This may be bubble wrap, stretch film, and potentially cardboard (depending on the size of the piece) but will not include a box or crate.
Shipping
Shipping options and prices are calculated at checkout.
Returns
Returns for paintings and studies: please contact me to discuss options. I want you to be happy with your selection, but original one of a kind art is a complicated return scenario on both sides.
Returns for giclées: if you are unhappy with your giclée print, return it to me in the original packaging for a refund of the original purchase price.
