Early Swim

Comments

Early swim?! You’re mad, woman! Lol. Despite your insanity it’s a fabulous record of your swim Shirley. I like the idea of chucking a bit of everything at it.....you end up with little jewels.

Ha ha, Fiona😍 Never thought I’d be doing such things, but it makes you feel so good!

Lol....you wouldn’t get me in the sea in summer, abroad, with arm bands and my own personal lifeguard! Glad you enjoy it, it must give you such a buzz, or is that shock!🤪🥶

I do like the effect you got, Shirley. No swim in the sea for me since a hot summer in the 90's, and then a massive jellyfish chased me out!

Thanks Marjorie. Sorry about the jellyfish. Don't tell me about it 😬

Complete rethink of this, using original sketch and limited palette of cobalt blue, yellow ochre and white. Palette knife, big brush, and fingers.
