"Sea Swells"

This was an amazing process for me. It is one of the thickest and most complicated pieces I have ever done. There are so very many layers that intermingle in this artwork that make for an incredible depth that light can dance through. It almost as an aquarium effect on the sides because you can see through the 1/4 inch thick resin from the painting edge for a whole different experience. It's like peering through ocean waters in all their complexity. You can actually see shadows of top layers over bottom layers! It's a beautiful array of ocean teals, seawater blues, and seafoam greens with crisp sprawling white waves webbing across.

Resin is like a liquid glass. It is a two-part epoxy that once mixed, starts to harden within the hour.

I mix resin with various pigments and then work with a blowtorch and knife to paint these scenes.
