An Acrylic Painting of three Bottlenose Dolphins
RIDING THE WAVES
12" x 16"
Completed July 2018
Ray from the USA, had purchased a couple of my works of art back in the early 2000's and requested a bespoke piece of art to be hung alongside other aquatic themed pictures he had on his wall. He allowed me to choose the composition and I spent some time creating the reference image. The reference was created from numerous photos, with a mock-up being created in an editing program. The customer was provided with a few mock ups and he selected the one he liked the best.

I find it fulfilling to create paintings depicting wildlife or landscapes, as it allows me the freedom to experiment with different compositions and colours. I spent considerable time adjusting the tones and details in the water until I was satisfied with the final result, which looked better than the photo I used as a reference. It was an enjoyable and rewarding process.
Building up the initial layers of the water
After carefully considering his options, Ray ultimately decided against ordering a frame for his stunning acrylic painting. Instead, he opted to visit a local framer to choose a moulding that would perfectly complement the piece personally. However, in the meantime, I took it upon myself to display the painting in a spare studio frame. By doing this, I wanted to showcase just how much of an impact the right frame can have on a piece of art's overall appearance and aesthetic. From the selection of colours to the style of the frame itself, every detail can make a difference. Ray decided not to order a frame for the painting, as he wanted to choose one with a local framer. However, I used a spare studio frame to display the acrylic painting. This helps to showcase how the selection of particular styles and colours can enhance the appearance of the final artwork.
