Original artwork description:

This painting encapsulates for me the feeling of lazy summer days in the pool, playing games, floating about, cooling off and then heating up again... Summer!
My process starts with taking the photographs I work from, I like to experiment with angles and light in the photographing. Every inch of the canvas has multiple layers on to build up the feeling of light, water and body, every layer focusing in on more detail until there is a balance of tight detail and watery fluidity. Every summer I do a number of photo shoots and then spend the rest of the year exploring them from different angles.
