This oil painting, aptly titled “Late Night Blues,” measures 20×24 and is a symphony of blues that seem to sing the varied tunes of the nocturnal sea. The upper portion of the canvas is dominated by deep indigo and navy, applied with bold, sweeping brushstrokes that create an impression of the night sky’s vastness and movement. Intermittent streaks of lighter blue and white cut through the darkness like the tail of a shooting star, infusing the composition with a dynamic energy.
Transitioning to the horizon, the blues soften into a mesmerizing blend with hints of lavender and pink, suggesting the elusive colors of a night sky. This strip of color acts as a visual resting place before the eye descends to the lower portion of the canvas.
Here, the sea itself is portrayed with horizontal brushstrokes of varying blues interspersed with whites that sparkle and glisten, mimicking the way moonlight dances on gentle waves.
Barb’s “Late Night Blues” is a beautiful interpretation of the sea’s rhythms under the cover of darkness, filled with the mystery and beauty of the ocean after sunset. The painting invites the viewer to lose themselves in the depths of its colors and to feel the serene pulse of the sea under the night sky.
