Packing up "Waves Roll Away From the Shore" for shipping to Washington DC.
I know it's a little hard to see, but the blue paint is actually a mosaic of the reversed side of a latter color. I work in layers, and I wasn't entirely happy with the bottom part of the painting, so I scraped it off. The back side of the dried paint was much more intriguing, so I flipped the pieces over and stuck them back on, giving that section of the canvas a significantly different look and texture than the rest.
This one was a lot of fun to make, but the oils took forever to dry!
