This artwork was inspired by a day trip with family to Atlantic city, New Jersey in July.

Recycled packaging cardboard was used to create two small works of art. I enjoy the challenge of working small and painting on different kinds of material.

The beach theme worked well with the ripple texture on the surface of the cardboard, it created a dreamy underwater feeling. The paintings measure 3 x 2.5 inches. The brown hue of the cardboard was the base color for sand and boardwalk, graphite was used to define edges including shaded areas. The sky and ocean is painted in shades of blue, green and white. The entire cardboard (front, back & sides) was sealed in a clear matte finish.

I was excited about the results of this creative exploration, the painting worked well on this material.
