LIVING WATER

2022

oil on canvas, 48 x 36 in.

I was going to leave this untitled. I had no words for it, just my impressions of a boy, playing not swimming, underwater. The words -“Living water” came to me via artist/writer Leanne Shapton’s book “Swimming Studies”. Her many years preparing for Olympic events and lifelong immersion have given me words where I only had marks to describe the commonality of “water”.
