“I made this piece in 2004. I just love
the ocean so I often make art that is ocean-related. There are two other pieces
I made around the same time that have a similar monochromatic color theme. “
- Hiroko Reaney
This work of art is a painting that was done with
acrylics on a canvas board. Reaney used
a monochromatic color design to portray an aerial view of a sea turtle.
I chose an additional work of art that involves another resident
of the sea, the sea turtle. The animal
is set directly in the middle of the canvas, where the piece gives the
essential outline of what a sea turtle looks like from above. The sea turtles’ shell, head, and limbs are
drawn as if the creature is buoyant in the sea.
The color scheme used for the painting is that of aqua, which is used in
differing hues over the entire piece, getting darker as one moves towards the
corners of the canvas. I sincerely
appreciated how this piece demonstrates a creative side that can be accomplished
using a monochromatic theme.
