Description

Ithaca Blue is a dreamy painting of a sea turtle gliding gently through the ocean, surrounded by beautiful layers of blue and soft, atmospheric light.

Deep ocean blue sits alongside turquoise, pale aqua and delicate, misty tones, creating a tranquil colour palette that feels immersive, calming and full of movement. The turtle appears almost weightless within the water, evoking that magical feeling of drifting beneath the surface and becoming completely immersed in the quiet of the sea.

The title Ithaca Blue reflects the sense of an imagined, faraway place. It’s somewhere peaceful, timeless and surrounded by water. There is something almost dreamlike about the scene, encouraging you to pause and lose yourself in the colour and atmosphere.

Painted using a blend of acrylic and spray paint, the piece balances the recognisable form of the turtle with expressive, hazy textures. Soft layers of paint create depth and movement, while the gentle diffusion of spray paint gives the ocean its signature ethereal quality.

Measuring 24 × 24 × 3.5 cm, Ithaca Blue is beautifully suited to smaller spaces, shelves, bedside tables or as part of a collection of ocean-inspired artwork.

The painting is signed by Sian Storey on both the front and reverse, making it a truly special and completely one-of-a-kind addition to your home.

How it was created

As the sole owner of this original artwork, you’ll notice subtle details and layers that photographs can’t fully capture. Gentle brushwork combines with soft veils of spray paint, creating an atmospheric sense of depth and movement that invites you to look closer.

Sian works intuitively, building each painting slowly in layers. Acrylic paint is used to define the turtle and establish the ocean, while spray paint is softly diffused across the surface to create hazy edges, light and atmosphere.

The result is a painting that feels both contemporary and timeless — carefully crafted, rich in texture and entirely one of a kind.

A small original painting with a wonderfully immersive presence, Ithaca Blue is a little window into another world — a quiet place beneath the waves to return to whenever you need a moment of calm.
