Artwork Description:

Title: Alfresco Dip

Have you ever been driving along and seen a luminescent body of water in the distance, calling you to plunge in and enjoy the cooling depths.  This picture was inspired by my love of swimming outside, in pools, rivers and lakes. There really is nothing like it, to restore my soul and quieten my spirit. It’s something I look forward to on the coldest, gloomiest of days , bringing a smile to my lips and joy to my soul. Swimming under a blue sky, while leaves dance along the surface and wildlife surrounds me has no substitute. This is an early summer/spring image, with the beautiful pink blossom and bright green leaves, reflecting this.

Artist Bio:

I paint vibrant and quirky nature-inspired abstracts, uplifting landscapes, effervescent still lifes, as well as, fantasy worlds, planets and waterscapes. I use primarily alcohol-based inks on Yupo or Nara paper, which is waterproof, enabling the inks to move around. Inks are a fluid medium, although I occasionally branch out into some mixed-media artwork. My art captures moments of joy, peace and reflection in the world around me.
