cat 10
A swimmer underwater in fins and mask, seen from the side, with two dolphins above and behind her in the open blue.
Wide and horizontal, with the swimmer entering from the lower left on a rising diagonal and the dolphins crossing above her on the same angle. There is no surface, no bottom and no horizon — only water.
A single blue field, lighter at the centre where the light comes down and deepening at every edge. The figures are warm grey-brown, barely separated in value from the water.
Everything is held at near-equal value, which is what makes the figures read as submerged rather than placed. Fine directional striations run across the whole surface, drawn through the drying paint.
Oil, photographed as a page of a portfolio book rather than as the object itself. The study for the large canvas Swim With Dolphins.
No signature visible within the painted area.
