Tropical Pulse

This striking mixed-media painting captures the essence of island energy with a bold central palm tree emerging from a vivid circular burst of color. Radiating from the tree’s base are concentric rings of red, purple, and white—evoking both a sun and a heartbeat, anchoring the composition in warmth and rhythm.

The background shimmers with textured layers of gold, aqua, and turquoise, giving the canvas a weathered, sun-soaked feel—reminiscent of sandy shores kissed by ocean spray. Abstract gold contours frame the palm, adding motion and mystery, almost like a map or a breeze frozen in time.

A miniature but magnetic piece that feels like both a portal and a memory, “Tropical Pulse” brings the feeling of the beach right to the soul.

This canvas is 8x8 in size, 3/4" thick, and is an original painting by Marie Barber.
