Abstract - Coastal Earthy Pebbles textured painting

This painting colour selection was inspired by both coastal and earthy hues introducing browns and off golds creating some warmth to a cooler painting! This painting was inspired by wanting to paint something tranquil and calm as now being in a world pandemic we are surrounded by so much negative news and worry. I also wanted to paint something that was therapeutic for myself as a lot of my usual art subjects require a bit of math and measurement. This was a free flowing painting, finding my zen. It reflects pebbles in water which again is very calm and soothing. This versions background has a light texture. A mix of blues, turquoise, greeny blues, greens, pink, browns, white, gold and silver. The close up images show the colours well.
