Light On Water
An original oil painting by Melinda Gandy, titled "Light On Water." The rectangular painting measures 39 inches by 39 inches and is presented in a contemporary, minimalist frame with a metallic bronze finish. The artwork depicts an abstract representation of light interacting with water. The brushstrokes are expressive and textured, creating a sense of movement and depth. The color palette consists primarily of warm tones, including yellows, oranges, and browns, with touches of green and blue. The composition appears dynamic, with a surge of light and foam rendered in impasto technique towards the foreground, suggesting the force and brilliance of reflected and refracted light within a body of water. The upper portion of the painting is darker, hinting at the surface or horizon line. The overall impression is one of vibrancy and energy. The painting exhibits excellent quality craftsmanship, with visible layers of paint and a confident application of color. There are no apparent condition issues such as cracks, warping, or significant paint loss visible in the provided image. The painting was notably part of Melinda Gandy's exhibition "Light On Water" at the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, which ran from January 10 to March 22, 2010, dating the artwork or its exhibition period to around that time.
