Soft turquoise waters, drifting swimmers, and shimmering summer light give this intimate pool painting its calm, dreamlike atmosphere -and looking carefully you can see a girl with a mermaid tail. Painted with loose expressive brushstrokes, the figures seem to float gently through layers of blue and green, capturing the vibe of a pool on a warm day.

This contemporary acrylic painting brings freshness, tranquillity, and subtle movement into a space, making it ideal for a bathroom, wellness area, or modern interior seeking a peaceful splash of colour.

I love relocating my studio to the local public swimming pool on hot days. I swim a few lengths, then settle down to do a "pool painting" - capturing the carefree summer days in a joyful atmosphere, so you can enjoy a sprinkling of this feeling all year round at home. 

When painting en plein air I use acrylics on cardboard. Hardy and I can achieve a depth of colour and vibrancy. I will send it to you carefully wrapped with card and cellophane so you can then have it framed to your taste.
