i am not a very good swimmer
i don't like indoor pools at all
outdoor pools are fine but i don't own one
i like swimming in a river or a lake, but none suitable for this in my neighborhood
i love looking at the sea
Rachel is this week's host , a theme that suits her, lithe and lively,
please go to her blog for some more swimming
i wanted to show you an older gouache but decided this morning to make something
new for this challenge, that's the real challenge isn't it,
barely dry and quickly painted,
swim, swim
have a nice weekend

I don't like chlorinated water because it makes me itch! This is such an unusual painting, very watery and the fish looks quite surprised by her doesn't he? ;) Have a lovely weekend Renilde!

Wow, you met the challenge, Renilde! Your swimmer may still be wet but she looks so free and happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a swimmer any more. The Pacific Ocean doesn't get too warm in this part of the world but on a hot summer day it feels divine! Have a wonderful week! xo Carole

Renilde, this is wonderful, look as frames of a movie!!!
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you.
Thanks for your comment!
My house has a little of everything, is a mountain house, very small (I live in a valley between mountains, so it has a lot of stone on floors and walls, is the material that is at hand here
I also do not really like indoor swimming pools
I prefer the river, here where I live our river has areas very fast, but also has quiet water areas with huge pools of up to 8 meters deep!!
Bye, and congratulations for this painting!!!!
Renilde, dear friend, I believe that we have crossed in cyberspace, somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDD
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing is that I did not see you, I wish to give you a kiss:))))))))))
ReplyDeleteI love the way you accompany your artwork with a personal story about swimming. I used to swim all the time in Greece, not so much here. Lovely work;)
ReplyDeletequickly painted you say
ReplyDeletebut what a great one!
I only made a quick drawing ;^((
I once was a good swimmer

I like the water, especially the sea
but do not like to go in ;^))

barely dry and BEAUTIFULLY painted is more like it. I really like the perspective and the colours and movement. Great painting Renilde i like!
ReplyDeleteIts a shame you dont get to swim more often I too do not enjoy indoor pools lucky for me that there are a few outdoor pools left in my area.
Have a lovely weekend Renilde

Renilde, I love her fishy friend. You caught the gesture well. xxoo, sus
ReplyDeleteme hace gracia esta pintura. me resulta graciosa. no sé por qué.
ReplyDeleteDear Renilde,
ReplyDeleteI adore your painting!
You have captured her movement so well... even that from the water. It looks like a real swimming, as on film.
I like the fishes under and over the surface, its another level...
and I really love your imagination :)
Love
Ariane.
dear renilde, please - can I swim with you in this wonderful water? it looks like the water in a finnish lake!
ReplyDeleteI smiled about the fish...! :-) mano
I really like your colours and the fishes woven into the sea, thats very tempting.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice sunday.
xo Barbara
Love your artwork Renilde
ReplyDeleteI can see she is swimming, the water moving around her...
Sometimes looking at the sea is a kind of mental swimming. Good for both soul and body
xoxoxo
Your swimmer looks like a mermaid! Beautiful, and strong! I want to thank you for your very nice comment on my blog! Thank you and a lot of kisses!
ReplyDeleteRenilde, your quickly painted and still a bit damp artwork is so full of vigor and movement and grace and fluidity all at the same time. Such grace! Such a celebration of the female form. Love the swimming friends with her. Awesome art you do!!! Love it. Talk soon, Norma, xo
