Glass Water | Original Oil Painting on Canvas
18 x 24
Glass Water is the cornerstone of the Tidewater series. Painted on an afternoon full of frivolity, laughter and celebration, Glass Water came to mind when trying to encapsulate the feelings of a perfect day coming to an end.
Painted from the perspective of that final glance back, trying to remember everything about a perfect day, as the evening calls it to a close. The emotion is conveyed in the combination of wakes and waves.
Oil paintings are created with an underpainting and finished with an Alla Prima technique. Oil paintings are created with artist grade paints, canvas, solvents and oils. All edges are also hand-painted with a continuation of the artistic subject, rather than masked edges, resulting in a beautiful raised look that will look professional both framed or unframed.Dry times for oil paintings last 1 year or more and have been completed.
Watercolor paintings are created on artist grade watercolor paper, mounted on a boxed wood panel with archival glue. I use archival, professional grade watercolors in high-yield-pigment. Watercolor paintings that are not wood-box mounted are unframed due to the abundance of framing styles and options for paper-based watercolor art.

Painting the Tidewater series took me on a journey for a year, exactly to the day. I have dabbled in painting other subjects and exploring different painting styles and Tidewater felt like coming home. Water has always called to me, beckoning with its depth and showy treasures sparkling on its shorelines. I began this series by painting Glass Water on my birthday, early in the pandemic when we were all still trying to figure out how to pass the time for a couple of weeks. The later paintings became a journey through my favorite places and sunny days when the gloom felt like it hung over us like a dark cloud that outstayed its welcome. Dark blues mixed with warm undertones sculpted my water and bright moments of joy in warm peaches, pinks, and reassuring greens dotted my coastlines and tree-lined cliffs. Strong rocks and boulders, undeterred by the anxiousness of the world showed up and began anchoring the beaches. This series began out of worry and unrest and journeyed my soul to a place of hopefulness and discernment. I feel most tranquil when I am by the water, and I found my way to a peaceful self while painting the shoreline.
