Description: This captivating abstract oil painting, titled "Sunlit Coral and Sea Bloom," is an intricate exploration of form, texture, and color. A vibrant coral-like structure, edged with bright yellow sunlit shapes and surrounded by intricate white flowing lines, takes center stage against a deep ocean blue background. The organic movement within the piece mimics underwater life, as the swirling shapes resemble blooming coral or sea anemones glowing in filtered sunlight.
The artist's rich layering of paint, juxtaposed with the striking red and yellow outlines, gives the composition a vivid sense of dimension and energy. The interplay between the bright accents and darker marine tones creates a dynamic balance, making this a fascinating addition for lovers of abstract and nature-inspired art.

Elvic Steele
Elvic Steele was British female artist who grew up in the countryside and developed a lifelong passion for nature. She became an experienced biologist and botanist as well as a keen gardener. Her interpretation of plants in her art, the attention to detail reveals the depth of her knowledge of nature. Steele spent all of her adult life teaching in various schools near her home in Essex. In 1946, she was awarded a sabbatical to attend the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing at Benton End in Suffolk, run by Sir Cedric Morris. It was in Morris' garden at Benton End that she found a great deal of her inspiration and continued studying and painting there until the 1970s. Steele's work was regularly shown at the Colchester Art Society Exhibition and she also had a solo exhibition in 1960 when she was in the Isles of Scilly. On returning to Great Dunmow in Essex in 1963, she took evening classes at the Dunmow Art Group meetings. There, she exhibited in the Art Group's Exhibition and in villages in the district. Whilst living in Royal Leamington Spa (1984-88) she had two solo exhibitions at the Royal Spa Centre and also showed at the Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum. At this time, she also sent a number of paintings to the Benton End Group Exhibition in Essex.

Coral Drifters, Oil on Canvas, Light and Shadow, Underwater Landscape
By Ellen Hart
Located in Houston, TX
Coral Drifters is part of the Light in the Deep Series by artist Ellen Hart. Coral Drifters investigates the ubiquitous patterns of light, shadow and reflection that we all experience daily, but that we rarely stop to notice. The works reflect a perceptual duality: a tangible, distinct moment and place when the source pattern is found, intertwined with the fleeting and ephemeral nature of time. As light and atmospheric conditions shift, my source patterns morph, move and change.
