Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

- This seascape (20x20" or approx. 50x50 cm) is shipped on stretched canvas.
- This is a painting of the sea and sky at sunset in soft purple and pink. Fluffy cotton candy clouds hang low in the sky and fog hovers above the water making it difficult to see where the sky ends and the sea begins. There are three sail boats moored in the distance. The water is very still. It provides a perfectly smooth surface for a spectacular mirror like reflection of the sky and sail boats.
I usually start my work with a coat of Gesso primer even on canvasses that are sold primed. Then proceed to create a traditional underpainting as Old Masters did to determine values of color and composition. I only work with oil paints. Each painting has at least 3-4 thin layers. My artwork has almost no texture.
After the painting is finished and cured for 2-4 weeks, then the protective varnish coat goes on, I usually use Dammar varnish that give it a glossy finish. I believe that Dammar makes oil paint appear more lustrous.
- All sides are painted. Can be displayed unframed.
