Ripples

This painting represents the ripples we make and the impact we have on the world around us with every decision that we make. To make this piece I used acrylic paint and splatter techniques to add depth and give the illusion of air bubbles in the ocean. I then used paint pens to outline the figure of a sea turtle. I used line work to represent ripples in the water made from the movements of the turtle. My intention is for viewers of my art to see the effect of your actions and how everything you do affects the things and people around you.
