Old Crystal Greens

A Nostalgic Glimpse into Wrightsville Beach’s Past

Old Crystal Greens captures a rare moment from Wrightsville Beach, showcasing the old, rickety Crystal Pier before it was rebuilt. Shot from within the barrel of a breaking wave, this piece immerses the viewer in a sea of dynamic greens—deep emeralds blending into soft seafoam, with hints of golden undertones reflecting the late summer sun. The frothy water in the background adds energy and movement, enhancing the ocean’s raw power.

Masterful 3D Resin Application

This gallery-wrapped canvas is brought to life with a seven-layer 3D resin application, meticulously applied by artist Sean Ruttkay. The resin enhances the wave’s texture, creating an ultra-wet effect that makes the viewer feel as though they are inside the barrel as it curls overhead. The sky, left free of resin, adds an intentional depth effect, further drawing the eye into the composition.
