“Down Deep” Painting

This painting is part of my current series“water parallels” in which I’m exploring the distortion of reality, how water and light can affect the way something looks, just like in real life; circumstances, culture, gender etc, can influence the way we perceive things. This painting is inspired by a picture I took of my son at a time in which he was trying to find out what he wanted to do in the future, he was doing some soul searching, and although I could see it, he had to make the journey on his own, just like when you are swimming under water... even if surrounded by others, we are in our own world, we do not see, hear or talk....we are alone, deep within ourselves. This painting is made using the highest quality oil paints on professionally prepared linen. The frame is aluminum, so is lighter and won’t warp. Hanging system(easily adjustable) and steel cable provided with purchase.
