Ancestral Swim

Created with oil on canvas, "Ancestral Swim" is a portrayal of the beauty and mystery of the ocean. The underwater world is depicted in detail from the light filtering through and refracting on the ocean floor to the intricate patterns on the shells and fins.

This artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our ocean and the creatures that inhabit them. It invites the viewer to contemplate the wonders of the ocean along with our responsibility to protect it for generations to come.

The fluid movement of the turtles as they gracefully glide through the water, was achieved with the richness of oil paint allowing smooth gradients to enhance the sense of depth and wonder.
