About this work

This painting is a grid of 12 squares, each containing a rough, white shape that resembles a sailboat. The squares are arranged in four rows and three columns, with each square featuring a similar yet distinct sailboat design. The background of each square is a mix of gray and white, with some yellow accents. The sailboats are depicted in various positions, with some facing left and others facing right. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, as if the sailboats are in motion across the canvas. The use of oil pastel, watercolor, charcoal, and pencil on paper creates a textured and layered look, adding depth and visual interest to the painting. To learn more about the artist's techniques, look up the technique of impasto.
