This abstract painting on linen wrapped canvas captures the essence of Bald Head Island through a map-like composition that reflects the fluid relationship between land and water. Layered textures, gestural strokes, and metallic paint evoke shifting tides, sunlight on water, and the island’s ever-changing contours. Blues and earthy tones dominate the palette, blending to suggest currents, landforms, and the natural movement of the elements. Scraping techniques and layered applications add depth and complexity, mirroring the terrain’s visual richness. Rather than a literal map, this piece offers an emotional interpretation of the island—an exploration of its dynamic boundaries and the harmony between earth and water. It invites viewers to navigate the composition, discovering layers of texture, form, and connection.
