‘Ocean Magicians’ Gill Bustamante. Original Painting.

Description

Ocean Magicians is a very large blue
and turquoise seascape painting of a Caribbean Sea, beach and sky but with an
unusual twist to it. It is 60x36x1.5 inches. The sky is a deep cobalt blue and
the sea is turquoise with white lacy waves rippling gently onto the shore.
Eight white tern birds are dancing in the centre of the painting as if casting a
spell. They were painted slightly transparently in order to enhance the
ethereal quality these birds have for me. The line of the horizon shows a sand
bank and deep dark water behind it and there is a lilac band of colour where
the sky reaches the sea. All these factors were present on the day I saw all
this on a recent trip to Aruba. My difficulty was that I did not want to paint
just another Caribbean seascape. I wanted to show some of my awe for the location
and sea and the birds in a way that is not hackneyed. I think I achieved this.
It is dedicated to all the lovely people of Aruba. It really is one of the
friendliest places ever. Painted on deep edge canvas, painted to match the
painting, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity from the
artist. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Bw3bIBepw
