Artist's statement
"To me, a painting has to capture the drama and personality of the subject.
"My current passion is painting animals in water. I love the abstract quality of reflections, shadows and the pulse of the sea.
"To some, art may be a hobby, a passion or even a career, for me art is my life. I take pride in every piece I produce and strive to learn and perfect my technique as I continue to explore the natural world around me."
So beautiful
This reminded me of my first childhood dog. He was such a a good swimmer. Your skill is on full display here
