Sandbar

Sandbar is a 36x24 textured coastal abstract painting inspired by the layered shoreline of the ocean where crushed shells meet soft summer sand. Created using neutral tones, real sand, and embedded shell textures, this mixed media piece captures the tactile beauty of walking toward a hidden sandbar.

To reach the softest sand, you must first cross the rough layer of shells. That contrast, texture against smoothness, is the heart of this piece.

Unlike traditional beach paintings, Sandbar is an abstract interpretation of shoreline memory. The surface is intentionally built up with organic materials, allowing natural light to highlight the dimensional texture throughout the day. It brings warmth, movement, and a subtle summer glow into any space.
