The Swimmer

Hi ~Anni a fascinating '50's style postcard image...I like what I see...but it is slightly different to your normal style perhaps?

I really like your design work Anni....I could easily imagine them as printed silks for example and this one is just begging to be a bathroom tile

i love the bight colours............very warm and funny feeling to it....lovely

Takes me back to my days as a child in the early fifties with my horrible woolly swimsuit! Very jolly and happy painting - could make a great postcard.

Hi Phil, I used acrylics here but in more of a watercolour way to the usual. There is an exhibition coming up called 'One Size Fits All' and all the paintings have to be the same size...10 inch x 10 inch canvases. I find something very appealing about the old traditional seaside holidays...beach huts, striped deckchairs, sand castles etc... This was just an indulgence in nostalgia more than any thing. Thanks for looking and commenting ;) ~ Anni

Hi Ruthy, it does have a warm glow about it...I love the cadmium yellow deep colour. I appreciate you commenting, what are you painting at the moment? ~ regards Anni

Hi Alan, Thanks for viewing and commenting on this one. I have often thought old seaside memories would be a great theme for a bathroom. I do have two little wooden beach huts in there at the moment (only 9 inches high) they are made so well, I picked them up when I visited my dad in Clacton several years ago. I also have some brightly painted tin buckets the spare face cloths are housed in...so I am on my way.Many thanks ~ Anni :)

Hi Thea, I can visualise those woollen swimsuits, they always looked a bit saggy and sad in photos didn't they? I appreciate you looking in, let me know what you are painting. Cheers ~ Anni :)
