Venus - Emerald

4“x 4” original acrylic painting on a cradled wood panel.

An etched and painted shell, in metallic gold and greens and dark blues. Lots of texture. The sides are painted in differing contrast colors.

These are small pieces- meant to hang in clusters, nooks, be set on shelves, and act as jewelry for your gallery wall.

I started referring to these as mermaid portals casually, after I painted my first one to style in my own home.

Inspired by classic nautical iconography, wax seals, ceramics, and painted tiles. I love how they look mixed with other styles of art.

All paintings are impressionistic and perfectly imperfect- there may be some texture or metallic accent paint that doesn’t show in the photographs. Each painting is finished with a satin varnish.

Signed on the side and back; the sides are painted to add interest and about 3/4” deep. The wood panel can hang on a nail, or stand alone on a shelf.

Unless there is a damage or misrepresentation, all sales are final. Thank you for all your support!
