This abstract mixed media painting combines acrylic and oil techniques, with a smooth orange acrylic layer placed over a textured oil background created using a palette knife. The blue color field suggests the vastness of the ocean or a crisp winter’s day, while the orange layer evokes the warmth of sandy beaches or vibrant sunsets. “Color field painting” refers to the work of abstract artists from the 1950s and 1960s, known for their use of broad, flat areas of single colors. This mixed media piece measures 50 x 60 cm.
