I drew this the other day and then painted it tonight from a photo. I liked the reflections on the water and the way the rectangles of the pool, windows and building framed the figure. I wanted to capture the serenity of the moment.
This is a gouache and pastel sketch on both sides of an 8 X 5 inch Moleskine sketch book with black pages.
I find the water plus soft edges moving somehow.

This drawing perfectly evokes how I felt during that swim. It captures the magic of our villa and jungle setting, and the coolness of the water.

It was fun to sketch you while you swam and to try to capture the feeling of the moment.
