Underwater Treasure Painting

'Underwater Treasure' is a large square semi abstract painting on stretched deep edge canvas. The image is full of texture, painterly qualities with shimmering gold and light pink tones.Colors of deep blue, black and white have also been used from the palette. It has been created by the Award Winning Artist, Janet Gammans. Depending on where you place this painting it can look different from every angle. I have used gold acrylic paint and an iridescent subtle pink for the shells. Primarily, it is an abstract painting but with the theme of an underwater presence of shells, fish and coral which is set on a dark background to give impact to the viewer. Full of textural reference with shapes abound sitting in harmony with the soft colour tones. I have come to realize that it’s not ‘what you paint’ that is important, but ‘how you paint it’. So in my interpretation of painting a subject, I try to maintain the essence of what first inspired me to paint it. For me, what is fundamental in my paintings are light, subtlety of colour, harmony, depth and drama, while still staying true to the subject. In my finished work, I hope that I have conveyed to the viewer interest and intrigue with this ethereal work of art. Acrylic is my preferred medium when painting water scenes because the quick drying process helps me to work with a more reactive, immediate approach whilst hoping to achieve flow and continuity within the painting. More layers are applied at home in my studio, but the initial painting is inspired by the response to form and texture in an expressive way. The artwork has been painted on stretched primed cotton canvas with the edges remaining white. It doesn't need to be framed and so 'ready to hang' but can be framed if desired. This beautiful image would suit most home interiors and enhance large areas of interest to create an eye catching feature and interesting focal point.
