36x36 inch mixed media oil on panel, mother of pearl & abalone shell, and hand collected Florida sea shells (hand painted frame included) Sometimes… a really great painting makes you fall in love with every little detail.The way each brushstroke holds a story.The tiny textures you only notice when you lean in close—like whispers woven into the canvas.The soft sparkle of iridescent shells, catching the light just so…Every mark, every fleck, every imperfect swirl becomes part of the romance. It’s not only the image that captures your heart—it’s how the details make you feel.Up close, you see the layers underneath breathing life and depth into the brushstrokes...Step back, and the story unfolds... This piece was inspired by the dreamy, expressive brushwork of Van Gogh… a reminder that beauty lives not just in the big picture, but in all the little moments that create it.
