‘Study for Padoum’ is painted using oil and acrylic on canvas. It is a large painting on an artist’s high quality Windsor and Newton stretcher which is warp resistant. The painting is made using large brushstrokes and the texture of the paint and brush marks are visible on the surface of the canvas.
 
It is painted using a combination of oil and acrylic paint which gives it extreme vibrancy and shine in some areas. In some areas of the painting the oil pigment is fluorescent which gives intense strong colour.
 
In a celebration of Venice Beach's spirit, Ruth Mulvie's painting serves as a captivating study for the larger work, 'Padoum.' The canvas bursts with a bright magenta sky, commanding attention. 
 
The radiant California light that inspired David Hockney's work finds its reflection in Mulvie's art, evident in her use of bold colours and luminous shadows.As a man takes a carefree stroll along the sands, accompanied by his Chihuahua dog, set to the right, the large sculpture ‘Padoum’ lends a contemplative presence amidst the beach's effervescent energy.
 
Infused with a delightful sense of humor, Mulvie's art masterfully captures the essence of Venice Beach as an eccentric mecca.
