"Green Bottle Dusk" (Miniature Gouache Seascape—Framed Original)About This PaintingThis title was inspired by something I caught sight of while walking the dog just before dark: a middle aged man sitting on his porch, singing his heart out in a melancholy sort of way next to ten sea green bottles of beer, a framed photo of a loved one, and a set of speakers trumpeting Latin music. This painting is an ode to the sad, funny, grotesque, and beautiful shapes our grief can take. About This Listing This is a 4x4 studio

About This Painting
This title was inspired by something I caught sight of while walking the dog just before dark: a middle-aged man sitting on his porch, singing his heart out in a melancholy sort of way next to ten sea-green bottles of beer, a framed photo of a loved one, and a set of speakers trumpeting Latin music. This painting is an ode to the sad, funny, grotesque, and beautiful shapes our grief can take.

About This Listing
This is a 4x4 studio gouache painting completed on professional-grade watercolor paper mounted to a cradled wooden panel 1.5 inches thick. To protect the water-based gouache paint from moisture, the painting has been lovingly treated with a three-step varnishing process consisting of a spray varnish suitable for water-based media, an isolation coat, and two coats of UV-resistant gloss varnish. The basswood panel has been sealed with buffed finishing wax to increase its longevity, and a signed label affixed to the back certifies its authenticity and specifications. The painting has already been glued into a custom poplar frame handmade by a local craftsman. Including the frame, the full dimensions of this piece are just under 5x5x2 inches.
