Ceder and Sea

30" x 30" x 2.2.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

The concept for this painting was inspired by another artwork displayed in our living room, which I had recently completed. The background and color palette sparked my curiosity, prompting me to explore how an entire painting created in a similar manner would appear. I loosely replicated the secondary design of the previous piece into the line drawing of a new composition. The creative process extended well past 2:00 in the morning, as inspiration knows no temporal bounds. As I progressed, I modified the composition to conform to the square canvas I had chosen, ensuring a harmonious balance. Subsequently, I applied an earthy palette scheme, carefully selecting colors to achieve a contrasting yet complementary aesthetic. And the earth tones of the color palette served as the catalyst for this work's natural title.
