Why is the ocean so beautifully complex? 🌅
Massive 22x30in watercolor painting, "Beyond the Sunset" 🌅, was a $300.00 commission by Echo Ridge Veterinary Hospital (my local vet) for their euthanasia room.
"Would you please paint some peaceful paw prints on a beach leading into a gorgeous pink sunset?"—Yes!
After much study of peaceful sunsets and oceans, I finished my largest painting ever personally attempted! It takes a whole separate set of tools and styles to paint extra-large in watercolor. It's a challenge to keep the water and paint flowing between drying times without creating hard paint edges or undesirable blossoms in the paint.It was so fun to paint in pink! 😊

💓 Jeremiah 5:22
"Do you not fear me? declares the Lord.
Do you not tremble before me?
I placed the sand as the boundary for the sea,
a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass;
though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
though they roar, they cannot pass over it."
