FROM MY YOUTH
I began this painting when I was a teenager but had no idea how to complete the ocean background. I was determined to finish it correctly. 20 years later I learned a technique that would allow me to complete it. My patience and dedication finally paid off!

I experimented with mixing water color and oil based paints. Because these repel one another a patina affect was created.
