The Sandbar Has No Last Call is an engaging abstract composition characterized by its rich texture and vibrant array of colors. Measuring 8" x 10", this piece is a mesmerizing interplay of acrylic and alcohol ink on paper skillfully layered to evoke depth and movement.

A solid band of deep blue follows, grounding the composition and providing a stark yet complementary contrast.

Here, a bold, rusty red band introduces warmth and contrast, enriching the predominantly cool-toned palette. The interplay of colors and textures within each band forms a dynamic and engaging visual experience, inviting viewers to explore the intricate layers and the intuitive flow of the piece. Inspired by the awe-inspiring auroras observed in the Interlake region of Manitoba, the painting captures the essence of these natural light displays. Notably, the use of phosphorus paint in the sky section is a subtle nod to the northern lights, adding a unique element that enhances the artwork's authenticity and connection to its inspiration.
