This contemporary seascape features brilliant blue sea tones with a muted light blue/grey sky.  I really wanted to emphasize the intensity of the blues I saw that day, which is why this painting, "Cobalt Horizon", is so simple and almost abstract.  Most of my paintings are inspired by the outdoors and painted in the studio, or they are painted on-site ('en plein air', as the french say). It is painted with high quality oil paint on a solid hand-crafted wood panel. Image wraps around all four sides and eliminates the need for framing. It has a nice substantial look and sculptural feel. Looks excellent hanging alone on a small wall, or for a fun and interesting wall presentation on a large wall, buy multiples and create your own unique wall design.
