Category: Children    Title:  Holding Back the Tide -Giclee Art Print    By:  Paul Leasure
“Girl Dancing on Liquid Gold” is an acrylic painting that immediately arrests the eye with a dynamic interplay of light, movement, and color. Though the colors are bright and strong, their pastel hues create a soft and warm atmosphere to this original painting. Leasure’s studies of Californian sea, shore, and beaches emote the vibrancy and movement of the natural scenes depicted, and keep them alive in his wall art paintings. Though many of Leasure’s works are oil paintings, in “Girl Dancing on Liquid Gold”, he makes use of many delicate layers, thus producing the multi-colored, shimmering effect. In this piece, the movement of the girl seems to be at one with the dancing wave as it rolls towards her and she runs to greet it. The angles of her body in motion match the free-flowing, unfettered movement of the wave. The spectrum of colors seen in a summer sunset reflect in the water and the crashing wave. The girl dances upon the still, shallow water, which is smooth and golden. The shiney amber surface she glides upon to meet the wave, conveys the precious gift of nature as the basis of life. The innocence of youth has no conflict with nature and so it gives her a royal status – a golden road on which to tread. The delight of the spirited girl and the sheer beauty of the sunset colors reflected in the ever-moving sea, uplift the spirit to the untroubled state where it always longs to reside. Such fine art paintings give life to a room and the people who inhabit it.- Written by Rick Tunis This painting has been beautifully captured in archival quality limited edition giclee reproductions, each signed by the artist.

A painting of the artist's daughter playing at the edge of the ocean

My daughter was enjoying the beach near the end of the day. As she played, she bent over to pick up a seashell that caught her eye. Naturally, the ocean’s froth gushed in to reclaim the little prize she had found creating an effervescent wake of muddy water around her ankles. Determined to fetch her calcareous claim, she clung to it as the sea foam pushed its way around her tenacious little grip. The ocean resigned for a moment and the swirls of saline laden sand receded from where she entrenched herself in the sinking seashore.
