Maitai Swimming Hole II

I revisited the old swimming hole, but this time wearing jeans and boots. Such comfort! I wanted to pay more attention to the rocky edge to the pool. Now that I look at the two paintings side by side, they are really two different compositions. This time there was a young lady walking her dog, who came past at precisely the right moment to complete the ensemble. I find that a figure can give a nice sense of place and scale.


Oil on panel. 6x8 in. $100
