Inspiration from the shallow waters of a tropical lagoon with hints of pink sand.

The artwork changes dramatically in appearance depending on light. The phthalo turquoise glazes become especially vibrant as natural light bounces off the textured surface. This canvas is, therefore, ideally suited for a bright location (e.g. under a skylight or facing a large window). The painting becomes more opaque in dim or artificial light.

The word “Phthalo” (pronounced ˈ(f)θaləʊ, FAH-low or FAY-low) is short for “phthalocyanine blue” or “phthalocyanine green”. It is a bright, greenish-blue synthetic pigment of high intensity used in paints.

Note: computer screens often struggle to portray the true colour palette of physical artwork - particularly blues and greens. Hues can vary substantially between different monitors, smartphones and even between applications (e.g. instagram v webpage). The richness of colour and scattering of light on a textured canvas is often lost. Please check the photos on multiple platforms for an “average” view.
