“Ocean Beach” is very special to me painting for me. It is painted from a memory when I lived in Los Angeles specifically Santa Monica, California. The quality of light is captured by using thin glazes of varnish to build up the surface. The materials used are mixed media and includes oil paint, varnish and spray paint. The transparent glazes are built up by sanding down each layer to create a fusion of color. I cut away and scratch at the pictorial surface revealing the layers that have come before and the history of the canvas.
