Swimming in the pool

Acrylic painting , Original Artwork of “Swimming in the pool “ by Moira Briel

This original painting was done on a 81cm by 60.50cm and a depth of 1.5 cm on a acrylic canvas and a protective coat of gloss varnish has been applied to seal the acrylic paints and to ensure the work stays looking its best for a lifetime

This painting “Swimming in the pool” is capturing with all the colours of the pool water and the white swirls capturing the movement of the water and light coming into the pool . A typical day cooling off in the heat in Australia . I enjoyed doing this composition as water is not that easy to do but I think I did capture the beauty of it all coming together as a happy place to be in. Nothing nicer then a cool dip in the water to cool off. I addled a few blues and green to the water followed by white with brown earth to the swirls. I hope you will enjoy this one for your home as it has a refreshing look to it

I am an Australian based wildlife artist with 30 years of experience.

I was born in Zimbabwe and started my art career by studying under professional artists such as wildlife artist Francis Stoki in Zimbabwe and Donald Waters in Queensland Australia . I worked for a taxidermy in Zimbabwe for two years painting wildlife on a large scale for export overseas. One of my paintings sold to the governor of Beirut and the other to the vice president of Zimbabwe at the time.

I left Zimbabwe 17 years ago and now reside in Perth Western Australia. After retiring I finally have the opportunity to paint full time in my studio , something I always wanted to do.

I enjoy painting wildlife the most coming from Africa I find nothing better then capturing the beauty of wild animals in their natural habitat. I paint in acrylics mostly but have done charcoal drawings and soft pastel drawing as well and a bit of water colour and graphic pencils. I have worked in oils before but find acrylics dry a lot faster. I paint realism mostly but of late have switched to a bit of abstract painting which is fun bringing out the stories it tells. I have also done underwater scenes where I can follow the swirls and patterns of the water creating movement and patterns which are pleasing to the eye. I paint flowers, animals, underwater scenes, abstract,realism, still life, marine life, beach life, sea scapes and birds just to name a few , so keep an eye open for something different as i intend to give you just that
