"Afterglow"
Chesterman Beach BC, Canada
36"x48"x1.5" Oil on Canvas
This piece is about the texture of the sand and the reflection of the sky across the water left on the beach in between the dunes. I like the fact that there is no constant pattern or texture or colour. Every part of the painting changes subtly, constantly with a "melange" of sand, water and reflection.
The canvas is back-wrapped and stapled for a clean presentation for display without framing. This Canadian-made canvas is 1% pure cotton stretched on1.5" deep basswood stretcher bars. It features 7̵oz (237̵gsm) canvas, primed to a finished weight of 1oz (328–385̵gsm).
The surface primed with two coats of acrylic gesso.
