Nautical 3-piece painting from 2011

When I first moved in to my boyfriend's house I realised he didn't have any decorations whatsoever. I went a bit mental with the empty rooms since I am one who loves decorations, and who always had my walls filled with all sorts of things, such as drawings, photos, etc. In my opinion every room needs a small decorative item - even the tiny guest bathroom in the hallway! That's actually where I hung up this nautical inspired 3-piece painting of mine. I was inspired by the round window in that bathroom, which very much reminded me of a window in a boat. What better theme to have in that bathroom then than a nautical theme ;) 

This 3-piece nautical painting is made with acrylic colours, and the swirls you can see are simply painted pebbles glued on with superglue. I really think that 3D objects in paintings make a huge difference, and they really draw attention to the painting as a whole. Below you can see each painting as a close-up.

I really wanted to paint a compass, and as you can see that is the main piece of the painting. I thought the text "Wherever you go, take me with you" really suited it, and it sounds really sweet.
