Lost in Play

Oil on canvas  ·  16 x 20 x .5

Lost in Play is an oil palette knife painting on a 16 x 20 canvas. Two young figures play in the sand and run toward the crashing waves while water and sky claim most of the space around them. The palette is warm and bright: golden sand, vivid coastal blues, and the clear light of a California shoreline. The palette knife work is visible in the broad, textured strokes of the sand. The focus is on scale and atmosphere rather than detail, the figures anchoring the playful energy without pulling the eye from the water.
