Original oil painting on canvas by Katie Wall Podracky. 30 × 60 × 1.5 inches.

You’ve heard it too, I’m sure. “The cure for anything is saltwater : sweat, tears or the sea.” I prefer the sea. This painting was inspired by the mesmerizing play of light on waves as they lap the shoreline. It feels like a summer day at the coast, but without the sunscreen. Also- this poem says more about this piece that my words can match.

I no longer pray

to become unbreakable.

I pray

to become tidal.

to know exactly

when to recede,

when to rise,

and to never mistake

either

for defeat.

~Chelan Harkin

Signed by the artist, wired and ready to hang. This piece was painted with sensuous contemporary brushwork, painterly texture and saturated colors.

Your Questions, Answered

Yes! I ship art domestically. Paintings are packed securely and shipping insurance is always included. Smaller paintings ship within two weeks.
Paintings larger than 30 × 40 inches can be transported domestically with a private service, or they can be removed from the stretcher, rolled and shipped to a frame shop that can re-stretch the art. Alternatively, paintings may be picked up at my studio by arranging a time with me after purchase.
International inquiries are welcome and I can offer specific shipping quotes based on your location if you reach out.
I can offer framing on certain pieces. On oil paintings up to 30 × 40 inches, I offer simple float frames in gold, silver, white, black or natural wood.
If you’re interested in a frame, let me know after your purchase and I can help you with options and pricing.
Color is my favorite thing too. Color tends to vary on computer screens and is represented as accurately as possible.
