Ocean Shores Tideline Study II - Framed Original Plein-air orders Altoid Tin Oil Painting on Canvas - 2x3 Inches Square

The ultimate in meditative landscapes, Pacific tide and wave patterns soothe the eyes, ears and mind. I will never tire of watching and listening to the ocean dancing with the shore.

This is an original oil painting created entirely on location. It is done on gessoed canvas cut to 3 by 2 inches, which fits into the lid of a mint tin. I was introduced to the concept of using mint tins as a plein-air pochade box through a friend's Instagram feed. As I am planning on traveling to paint in Ireland, discovering this solution for compacting my on-location toolkit was extremely exciting! Tiny surfaces and a time limit seem to be the ticket to freeing my decisive side and eliminating the inner voice prodding for "just a little more tweaking/detail/fussing".

The dry painting has been adhered to an 8-ply acid-free matboard using acrylic gel medium, fit into a 5 by 5 inch nutmeg toned 1/2" wide wood frame with an orders acid-free linen mat. It is glazed with Museum glass for maximum clarity and UV-blocking. Your framed work is wired and a hanger is provided if you wish to display it on the wall.
