More Tiny Little Sea Paintings (in process)

Back in the spring, I blogged about taking time for me. 

I'll get to Part II of that shortly.

In the meantime, here are more Tiny Little Sea Paintings. 

These are not finished by any means, 

but I know some of you like to see art "in progress." 

These are either 5 x 7 or 6 x 6, on 3/4" deep canvas.  

Tiny Little Sea Paintings

available $65

A departure from my usual animal paintings, these small - 8 x 10 and 5x7 canvases - are in progress. Or maybe they are finished, I can't quite decide yet. 

Acrylic paint over Micaceous Iron Oxide as a base with some Coarse Alumina (both are Golden Paints products) sprinkled in for larger textural effects. I really love how the toothiness of the iron oxide allows the paint to blend under the surface. 

These two images show progress on the same painting.
