Another Swimmer Painting

This painting/drawing was originally the sketch for a very large oil on canvas, where the figure was life-size, lost in a field of near-black water - where `up` and `down` were only discernible by the orientation of the figure. I wasn`t happy with the result and the sketch was visually more articulate than the finished piece (which no longer exists). The image is on lining paper, torn to make it seem like we are looking through a chink to the scene beyond. The image came from a sense of being lost, directionless, and alone and was started in 2013, being added to occasionally over the last couple of years, then finished today. From my sense of isolation at that time, I now realise that so many people feel the same way - hence `Another Swimmer`. I see the image now as depicting the situation that many people find themselves in, and so I think of this particular swimmer as one of many, which by getting closer to the chink we may see in the surrounding dark sea.
