Turbulent Harbour (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Marijean Harris

"Turbulent Harbour" is an original abstract landscape painting that captures the essence of a harbour scene in a unique and expressive way. My technique involves layering acrylic, pastel, and glazing on canvas, creating a rich texture of marks, scratches, and partially erased shapes. The deep blue-greens at the bottom of the canvas evoke the feeling of turbulent seas.

The inspiration behind this contemporary artwork lies in the creative process itself—a balance between control and surrender. I allow the painting to evolve organically, with fragments of walls and waves emerging from the initial chaos. This painterly abstraction invites the viewer to explore the depths of the harbour and experience the energy of the seascape.

This medium-sized piece would be a beautiful addition to any space, bringing a touch of abstract expressionism and contemplation. Its neutral tones and dynamic composition make it a versatile choice for various interior styles.
