Seaweed and Sea Creatures #2 Painting by Ella Carty

Painting: Acrylic, Ink on Canvas.

This modern, abstract painting is inspired by a trip to the Isles of Scilly in August 2018. Here there are plenty of visual delights! I was particularly inspired by the seaweed and marine algae, some of which are very rare and highly protected.

This work uses acrylic and metallic ink to create different textures and layers within the composition. Some of the surface has a pearlescent or silvery sheen. It is a work on stretched, professional quality canvas.
