I can't believe this guy actually went for a swim yesterday.
It may be heating up around here,
but the water temperature is still only around 50 degrees.

About My Painting
- Nancy Colella
- Norwell, Massachusetts
- I am a full time oil painter living and working the South Shore of Boston. My goal as a painter is to say as much as I can, with as few "well placed" brushstrokes as possible. My paintings are intuitive and spontaneous, meant to engage the viewer in a specific moment in time. This blog is designed to share a quick glimpse into my process of painting. All paintings are for sale by contacting the artist. saltydogstudio@comcast.net

Great handling of the ocean...and the guy being cold as he is ready to plunge...nice work
ReplyDeleteGreat painting, Nancy. The ocean colors are wonderful and you really nailed the whole feeling of wading into ice cold water.
ReplyDeleteI love that dark ??phalo blue color on the waves....love the dancing strokes
ReplyDeleteNancy, I love the articulation of the figure! And the water is so.... watery! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI like the watery water too and the way the figure is confronting those waves...nicely done.
