This large painting on silk was inspired by tranquil seas off the southwestern coast of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. The large hawksbill turtle glistened like an opal gem in the shallow crystal clear reef.
Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of color and light by painting the wet-on-wet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes. The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colors can bleed freely on the fabric. The finished piece is water-resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass.
