This is my second painting – Acrylic on canvas: 24"x 36".
This is an extreme close-up of a lifeguard towner cluttered with graffiti on a Southern California beach. Brushwork renders detailed woodgrain of the tower as well as the fading ocean in the background. This was a study of brush stokes vertical versus horizontal as the tower woodgrain crosses the ocean horizon. Graffiti primer paint was added to show an organic blotching brush technique to contrast the traditional painting basic style brush strokes. Later the tower only was gloss varnish to have a stronger visual contrast.
