Abstract landscape of a gold sun over an ocean and hillside

My most recent acrylic on canvas is an abstract landscape depicting a tumultuous sea meeting green hills and a golden sun.

The colour scheme of this piece is somber. Dark blue brings a feeling of security and dependability. It is a rather large piece measuring 60 x 24 inches.

I used metallic paints to highlight the sun and the cascading waves. When light hits the surface of this piece, the sun glows magically. I love the calming nature of my work. I utilized a lot of blue to set the background up, then added the other elements in layers. The golden sun took a full day to get it to look how I wanted it. Upon close inspection, there are many variations in the background layers that add complexity and depth to the piece. Each person will see different images in this landscape; a quality that I truly believe, makes my work special.
