"Swimmer" - SOLD

6x6" oil on Gessobord

I painted this in the spirit of exploring challenging subject matter. I like that the water creates distortions in the figure, especially the legs which are further from the surface. This was certainly an exercise in simplification and pushing the abstract .

This painting was done from a photo taken at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. The Conservatory is a beautiful old greenhouse filled with interesting plants and flowers from around the world. It's a very peaceful way to spend a few hours.
