Sunlight & Sand- Acrylic Painting

16 x 20 in.

Acrylic on canvas.

Lakeside living wall art featuring a serene image of waves gently breaking on a sandy beach.  This contemporary, minimalist painting captures “the essence” of the ocean and/or Great Lakes.  Dorothea spent quite a bit of time in the ocean as a child and now lives on the shores of Lake Huron. She knows how the colors of the water changes depending on the weather and time of day, swirling and swaying with the currents.

About the Artist

Dorothea Sandra's paintings exude an upbeat, happy, positive vibes.  "My goal when I paint is to create a real mood lifter. If a happy tune can change a mood, why not a painting?" is the artist's motto. 

She was born and raised near the ocean in New England, however, once she traveled to the Great Lakes she fell in love with the fresh water and long views. Now residing in Northern Michigan, she considers herself to be a "Great Lakes Artist".  Using techniques she learned while earning a certification in evidence-based design, Dorothea creates designs/paintings on canvas for the health, healing, and happiness of others.  Her work aims to depict the beauty of the Great Lakes while inspiring and spreading joy. Dorothea's work will appear in Condé Nast’s House & Garden, The World Of Interiors, and the Tatler in 2023.
