Cooling It Off is part of my Waterworks series.
In this vibrant oil painting, I aimed to capture the ephemeral beauty of a woman embraced by water, exploring themes of serenity, surrender, and renewal. The swirling blues and dynamic brushstrokes evoke the fluidity and power of the ocean, contrasting with the soft, pure expression of tranquility on her face. This piece is a testament to the restorative energy of nature, bringing a peaceful yet invigorating presence to any space it inhabits.
This painting was made with oil paints on a cradled wood panel, which does not require framing, as the sides are painted. The painting has been coated with archival varnish, which extends its longevity and further protects it from dust and scratches.
