Cadmium scarlet is a high-saturation red. The manufacturer recommends using it sparingly for places intense bright red or orange tint is needed. In these pieces the scarlet dominates the water and sky with subtle variations in brightness and chroma. The underpainting is quinacridone magenta fading upwards to tropical green as water meets the sky. Topping off the colors is a variant of phtalocyanine turquoise for water shadows and horizon.
Doing more with less in this piece means using only basic shapes to represent slips, ripples and coastline. Allowing negative space room to breathe with subtle variations in brush sizes to represent flow of water movement of air. In person it’s a clean and tranquil look.
This particular piece is 24Hx20H and 2” deep canvas. The gloss of the scarlet is medium to high. The textures are more apparent at an angle.
Painted December 2025.
This has tropical blue border and comes with copper metallic floating frame.
