Dolphin Encounter

Dolphin Encounter, Fine Art
Dolphin Encounter
This work portrays the gentle love and affection that people hold in their hearts for the ocean and all of its inhabitants. Contrasting with that gentleness is the exciting explosion of the variety of flora and fauna held in that vast body of water. Layered over the black paper, I used acrylic paint and inks, gouache, metallic watercolor and black pen to express the colorful profusion of life found in our oceans... So worthy of our stewardship and protection for all who live on this planet.

Bio
I am Brenda Townsend of Brilliant Spectrum Art. I'm a California-Credentialed Arts Educator, working in watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, pastels and more on paper, murals, and large-scale theatre sets. Some of my favorite subjects include tropical lights, tikis, mermaids, birds, flowers, and/or shells in a fantasy setting, with an exotica/retro vibe. Major artistic influences include Disney artist, Mary Blair, The Artist SHAG, Oceanic Art and the Natural World. I work in multi-media, and my process often involves using hand-made stamps and stencils and using found objects to print. I paint my current thoughts and discoveries on top of these backgrounds, in a semi-realistic style, using exciting and surprising color palettes.
I feel passionate about creating uplifting, fun, and beautiful works with broad appeal to provide viewers an emotional respite from everyday life. My work is escapist, joyous, and unapologetic, exuding positive energy which allows viewers to recharge and be transported while experiencing an enhanced reality.
