Roosevelt Summer Swim Painting

Aerial scene of the famous Tropicana pool at the Roosevelt Hotel in LA, captured early in the morning when you can just hear the swishing water of swimmers and the sway of the palm trees overhead. Inspired to paint this scene after staying at the hotel and seeing the contrast in the calm, early morning scenes and the buzzing afternoons and evenings. Painted on a lightweight canvas, great for hanging and framing. Charlie’s style combines colour and bold marks with his love of travelling the world. His work is based on places he has visited or abstract views of the world around him to create paintings that capture the feeling of a place. He started to experiment with bolder colour palettes after finishing University and fell in love with the flexibility of paint, then experimenting to find his style by building up a few series of paintings. Charlie lives and paints in London and having grown up in Norfolk he has painted from a young age, bringing the freedom and happiness of being by the coast to his work to create calm yet striking pieces of work. These feelings are put onto canvas and viewers are invited in to experience them.
