Over the Mediterranean II | Blue Abstract Canvas Wall Art Print

About Over the Mediterranean II

A tall abstract composition built around a vertical column of pale sea-green and cream that rises through a field of deep marine blue. The blue is worked in broad horizontal sweeps at the left and lower edges, lighter and cloudier toward the top right where soft grey-blue drifts like haze. Down the centre sit small rectangles and squares of apricot, beige, ochre and slate, some crisp, some half absorbed into the surface. A streak of warm brown-gold runs down the upper left of the column, with fine dark scratched lines above it.

There is no horizon and no object to name, yet the layering reads as light moving over open water. The mood is calm and weathered rather than bright, with the small warm blocks giving the cool field a point of focus.

Portrait format suits a narrow wall between windows, a hallway end, or above a bedside table or console. The deep blue works with white and pale grey walls, oak and rattan furniture, linen bedding and navy upholstery, while the apricot and ochre marks pick up terracotta pots, brass lamps and tan leather in living rooms and home offices.
