'Sailboat in the Sea'
Oil on canvas, 36x40"

Swipe to see the full shot :)

This painting really changed over time, with me adding and adding. Then realizing I had way too much stuff and started editing and getting rid of elements. Reminding myself when finishing a piece is not about adding more details often for me it's what can I take away, or simplify. Or what did I like before, in the beginning of this painting?

Also accidentally videod my foot tapping somehow while I tried to do this, so that's included.
