Coastal Journey

Size & Medium

120cm x 90cm

Acrylic on unstretched canvas

Description

This artwork, commissioned by a coastal family, beautifully embodies the love and connection shared by Rebecca, her husband, their 9 children, and 17 grandchildren. Painted in calming shades of blue, the oceanic tones reflect the family’s coastal life, with shimmering metallic blue sea animals bringing the canvas to life as the light shifts throughout the room. At the heart of the painting, traditional U-shaped symbols depict the entire family, the grandchildren sitting together in the 4 outer symbols and Rebecca, her husband and their 9 children sitting together around a campfire in the centre, with journey lines connecting everyone and representing their enduring bond. A reminder of their shared journey, anchored by love, unity, and the ever-present ocean.

Paints - Presten uses professional-grade Jo Sonja acrylic paints and Chroma products to ensure long-lasting colour, durability and archival quality.
