‘PADOUM’ is painted using oil and acrylic on canvas. It is a large painting on an artist’s high quality stretche. The painting is made using large brushstrokes and the texture of the paint and brush marks are visible on the surface of the canvas.
 
It is painted using a combination of oil and acrylic paint which gives it extreme vibrancy and shine in some areas. In some areas of the painting the oil pigment is fluorescent which gives intense strong colour.
 
In Ruth Mulvie's vibrant painting, 'Padoum', Venice Beach comes alive with colour. The magenta sky sets the stage, simple yet captivating with a burning white sun. The contrast is striking, drawing attention to the lively foreground.

These paintings are developed from a series of pictures that I took last year. I tracked this man with his chihuahua down the beach and I knew I wanted to inlcude him in a painting. Adjacent, a serene Buddha sculpture stands, offering a moment of reflection amidst the dynamic scene.

Mulvie's art captures Venice Beach's essence, a place where wild and quirky collide, embodying the belief that anything is possible. The painting focuses on the best parts, with palm trees towering along the side, creating the unmistakeable Venice ambiance.

With a delightful sense of humor, Ruth Mulvie's painting celebrates Venice Beach's unique spirit, inviting viewers to embrace the bohemian charm and spirit of this extraordinary place.
