Carlota diving in the pool.

I was inspired by a painting my boss has on her wall. Painter is family of a friend of mine. She does the most fantastic under water paintings, a sight better than mine! But I had to try it. So I did Carlota under the water in my mum’s swimming pool. She is 5 years old here. The canvas is a large square one about 80cmx80cm. Here she has just dived in. I liked the idea of reflecting the blue of the swimming pool on her skin; I have to say she didn’t. Never mind...

Here is a close up of the bubbles.

Deserted...

This was a laugh. I dreamt this one and got up doodled it on a paper then painted it on a massive Canvas also using cement to give texture to the sand. If you actually touch the shell you would find inside has a sand texture yet the shell it’s self it smooth. I really had fun doing this one!!! Measurements:
