"Breathe" 2-24x24x1.5 Diptych mixed media depicts a serene beach scene, portrayed across two canvas panels, with the division between the panels acting as a central splitting element that adds a unique compositional touch to the piece. The focus is on the detailed sea oats and grasses in the foreground, which are rendered with careful attention to the varying textures and hues of green. The grasses rise up against a soft blue sky, which is subtly variegated with wispy white clouds. A gentle gradient from the sand at the bottom to the sky at the top creates a sense of depth. The artwork captures the calm coastal atmosphere commonly associated with beachside landscapes. Modeling paste and Apoxie Sculpt gives the texture for the grasses and real sand was used in the painting.
