A serene manatee, its form lovingly hand-painted onto a backdrop of shabby white wood, the subtle grain adding rustic charm. The gentle curves and soft shading of the manatee bring out its endearing nature, its expressive eyes peering with quiet curiosity. Over this painted scene, clear seaglass is meticulously placed, each fragment catching light and enhancing the artwork’s depth. The glass pieces, smooth yet irregular, create a dimensional effect, as if the manatee is emerging from sunlit waters. Resin, poured with care, envelops the seaglass, magnifying the vibrancy of the colors beneath. The play of light across the glossy surface makes the soft grays and blues of the manatee pop against the weathered white wood, adding richness to its form. The final piece exudes a coastal tranquility, blending the organic textures of the seaglass with the warmth of hand-painted artistry. It’s both tactile and luminous, inviting closer admiration—like a glimpse of a gentle sea creature.
