"Washed Ashore" began as a pure exploration of color and form, but as layers of acrylic paint built up on the cradled birch panel, a familiar scene emerged – a serene day at the beach. The artist has blended hues of blue and green, evoking the gentle ebb and flow of the ocean and the soft sands. The layered painting technique adds depth and visual interest. Measuring a petite 10x10 inches, this small artwork is perfect for adding a touch of coastal charm to any corner of your home. Its compact size makes it incredibly versatile; imagine it gracing a bookshelf, adding a splash of color to a gallery wall, or bringing a sense of peace to your desk. The 1.5-inch sides are finished in a subtle off-white, it has a UV protective varnish, and it is signed on the back. It arrives ready to hang. Laurie MacMillan has enjoyed numerous awards and solo exhibitions, and has had pieces selected for over a hundred juried group shows.
