"SUN & BOAT" is an abstract painting characterized by a vibrant mix of colors and textures. The composition features bold strokes of teal, pink, orange, and yellow, creating a sense of depth and movement. As I painted it, the piece began to remind me of a sunny day canoeing on Lake Austin.
The central area is dominated by teal and blue hues, evoking the feeling of water, while the warm tones of orange and yellow suggest sunlight. Vertical streaks of brown and black add a sense of structure, reminiscent of reflections or shadows on the water. The energetic brushstrokes and abstract forms capture the essence of that experience, creating a vivid and immersive visual representation of a bright, sunlit day on the lake, with the vibrant colors of nature all around.
The artwork serves as a beautiful reminder of those serene moments, gliding across the water, feeling the warmth of the sun, and being surrounded by the natural beauty of Lake Austin. "SUN & BOAT" encapsulates the tranquility and joy of that day, translated into a dynamic and expressive visual narrative.
