And under water I breathe

The moment of transition, taking the plunge and washing away cares, the soft pressure as you drift through water.

This picture is part of the ‘In the shallows’ series of impasto oil paintings inspired by Sydney’s many ocean rock pools. Paint has been generously applied using a palette knife rather than a brush, giving texture and depth. Close up textures are abstract colours, resolving in clarity as you step back to take in the whole painting.

Impasto oil on canvas, 122cm x 41cm, price includes framing in white wood.
