acrylic on canvas

After experimenting with the marks made when pushing a pebble dipped in paint around on paper, Wade used this technique in the background. He used a large brush to push a rock covered in paint which resulted in the dreamy green ground over the top of spray painted stencils.
Over this Wade dribbled thickened paint and finally embellished the marks with Poscas
Nestled in the bottom corner is a mermaid to finish off the seascape.
Words from Wade: This is my artwork. isn’t it splendid….just splendid. Look at it…go ahead…look at it. So I did some inch wincy lines in this going across across across across, straight straight straight….and I made a mermaid... Peace out
