This piece is the start of a new direction for the Binoculars series.

Over the years the Binoculars series has gotten progressively larger and larger,

and to keep the series challenging and interesting for myself I've decided to 

play with paint rather than just automatically paint, and to play with composition, 

and to revisit a few of the original elements that made the series happen.

I want to discover new colours, new textures, new techniques 

that can be mixed and matched in different ways.

Binoculars #186 - Sparkling Surf, is loaded with texture,

and has areas of contrasting thick and thin paint.

Working in the larger format allows for an interesting balance of freedom and focus.

Freedom, to play with the paint itself and keeping certain elements as they are. 

Focus, in the regards to areas that require attention and refinement.

Hopefully giving an overall balance to the finished product. 

I'm looking forward to this new approach to the series!

If you have any questions about this painting, please feel free to ask,
by leaving your question either in the comment section or sending me an email.

Please stay tuned for more what's new from the studio!

Thank you and Cheers, ~ Polly ~
