Beau Stanton. A Precarious Voyage - Limited Edition Prints. Edition Size: 40. 24 x 17 Inches Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper. $ 75.00. "The ship depicted in the painting is an amalgamation of a few different vessels that I photographed while exploring an abandoned shipyard in Staten Island. I really liked the colors and strange loneliness of the ships. In the painting, the waves of the sea are made up of the ornamental patterns that I like to use in my work that is meant to give a restless feel to the painting. The eye’s of providence are seen in the sky like the phases of the moon depicting transition and change. I started the painting by priming the wood panel with different colored layers of acrylic paint then sanding it to create a varied texture. Next I drafted out the patterns with a compass and ink. The rest of the process was rendered with several layers of oil paint." - Beau Stanton.
