Description

Acrylic on wood, ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

The original image for this painting came from a photoshoot of my female model underwater. This image drew my attention with the reflections, the poise of the girl, and the beautiful way that she was captured in the light. Her dress and jewellery and the reflections above take the eye on a journey from her hands throughout the painting. The light highlighting the hands and chest contrasted against the colourful watery background captures the softness of the water and this colourful light filled space. Use of contrasted colours such as bright orange and blue helps to guide the eye. I have developed my style using contemporary art techniques such as expressionism and pop art. The resultant painting is a wonderful reflection of poise and feminine allure. Named after an Emily Dickinson poem "I started early - Took my dog" where Dickinson refers to the sea rising along her body and then withdrawing.
In this painting I've used high quality artist acrylics and mediums. As with most of my paintings I personally mount it on an "inbuilt" frame and then paint the painting as the frame and board as one unit. The painting is fitted with a wire and two D rings and is ready to hang.

Concept

I’m interested in strong beautiful resilient women. These strong beautiful resilient women can be seen in my current body of work - standing in, emerging from, or swimming through, water. For me the most amazing thing about being underwater is that the rest of the world disappears for a while. There are no distractions or stress - just quietness.
The light is filtered and flickering, and beautiful reflections are created. The whole scene is blanketed in this cool, flowing, bubbly sensation. My models hair and clothing move with the water while they are suspended in the water - floating in a nurturing, freeing, and healing space. I like to give my viewers a sense of a magical but uplifted world.
On my personal journey this is a place where I want to be.

What kind of hardware should I use for hanging the artwork?

If you are concerned about repayment costs, such as when renting a house, wall pins and hooks that do not leave noticeable hole marks are available at major DIY Store and art supply stores.

If you want to hang a canvas with a hook, a hook type with a long hooking surface, such as a V-shaped type is recommended.
