The end of March is the end of swimming season for me and that's all right. However, it's worth saying farewell to swimming and take a moment to reflect on how lucky I am to live so close to the sea. The water temperature yesterday morning was a bit nippy but it didn't take too long to adjust and enjoy it.
The painting below is based on a scene I saw during Adelaide's last really hot spell in early February. It was 35 degrees Celsius and I had gone for a swim at Glenelg. I saw this couple leaving the beach. Instantly I thought it could make a decent painting.
This painting will be part of the 'Good Sports' exhibition that I will be presenting with Kate Bower at the Bapea Art Gallery in May 2015.
