Far From Home: Framed Art Print

This black and white art portrait painting shows a woman on a beach wearing a Christmas hat and winter sweater, looking wistfully at the sea while her hair blows in the windy sea breeze. This watercolour painting is a black and white framed print evoking a sense of windy days by the seaside, and a wanderlust holiday spirit when we are far away from home. This portrait painting is a wall decor art print of a woman with intense, beautiful eyes and a piercing gaze, looking into a distance full of possibilities and endless horizons. 

Inspired by time spent far from home during the artist's long travels and years spend living abroad in Asia, this watercolour painting print evokes travel to faraway places, a modern yet timeless holiday spirit and the allure of exotic destinations, windy seas, and faraway beach destinations. Hand painted a monochrome colour palette and graphic painting style, this sea landscape artwork with a mysterious woman is a perfect gift for people who have recently moved, are living abroad, or seeking a unique wall decor print for their home or office spaces.

Inspirations

In my early twenties, I lived in South Korea for three years while teaching, painting and travelling around Asia, exploring exotic places, people and cultures in this part of the world.

I was very fortunate that my sister also was a traveller with a serious case of wanderlust, so she was also living her Asian travels journey in tandem with mine. This watercolour portrait was created after we spent a winter in Taiwan. At this point we were both a little nostalgic and homesick, especially missing snow and beautiful Canadian white Christmases, far away from our family and loved ones.

We spent our Christmas on a beach in Taiwan that year, and the following year was in Vietnam, followed by one last holiday abroad spent in Korea. In this painting, I wanted to capture this feeling of freedom, adventure, exoticism, while also acknowledging the nostalgia, melancholia and slight alienation that can come with being outside our comfort zones, in new lands, far away from home. I also wanted to capture the beauty and depth of my sister, who I was so lucky to share this three year life adventure with.

Creative Process

This painted portrait art print was originally hand painted using watercolour on paper. I then photographed the watercolour painting and digitally enhanced the contrasts, shadows and highlights, preparing this painted artwork to be reproduced into a high quality fine art print.
