Beach Solace
First piece of the new year!
I sketched the Opal piece last year for Pearlmethyst week and finally finished painting it over the holidays on the beach. I was inspired to finish this because we finally got to see Opal again to ring in the new year! All that Hopal for Opal paid off!
It’s a spiritual successor to an older piece (below) of mine. I had in mind a peaceful moment of Pearl and Amethyst enjoying each other’s company as Opal, perhaps relief and affection after all the massive changes and challenges they’ve experienced in recent history.
