Red Tide

"Red Tide" is an original acrylic painting on paper adhered to a wood cradle (open-back box). Onto this painting I traced an object I found on the ground while out walking one day; it's arch shape with cut-out rectangles appeals to me. I've included a picture of this object in the photos. Lettering was added using stencils stating, "A red tide occurs from algal blooms - HAB (harmful alga blooms)." The finished piece is sealed with a matte medium glaze and measures 9 by 12 inches. Wired and ready to hang.

Red Tide definition: a discoloration of seawater caused by a bloom of toxic red dinoflagellates.


*I gave my 15-year old grandson a summer job uploading item data to my Etsy shop. He is an aspiring writer, so one of his duties was to write his thoughts about my artwork:
