Large Abstract Painting - North Atlantic Crossing


North Atlantic Crossing
24x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

I think this large abstract painting of the North Atlantic was inspired inadvertently by all the talk in the news right now about the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.  I really set out to do a painting in firey orange and robins egg blue.  But I find with abstracts, they are never done until they are done, meaning - one must work at it until satisfaction is achieved.  And today, well, the orange and blue just didn't cut it.  My mind kept returning to this dark base of slate blue and green.  And as that progressed, so did the sky, into icy blues and greens.  Go figure...  And so it is named:  North Atlantic Crossing.
