No Diving No Jumping

This series is an exploration of form, perspective, and realism, juxtaposed against a minimalist colour palette. The focus is on the interaction of people within the landscape. Sunday by Amanda Cameron - One of my 'Summer Series' of paintings and is an investigation into the interaction and connection between perspective, realism and colour. Amanda’s work is focused on the quest for finding refuge, quietness and escapism. Some [paintings] focus on the lone swimmer, the few minutes of introspection when submerged in the warm quiet of the water, and others investigate the interaction of people within various aspects of the landscape. I haven't settled on any particular style and constantly struggle with juxtaposing hyper-realism and having a painterly quality to my art. This conflict in my paintings is what I am always trying to balance. This piece is painted in professional quality oil paints on a museum quality canvas and finished with edges painted and gloss varnish for protection.
