Summer Swim


it has been such a lovely 
and hot summer
perfect for swimming in Montana's beautiful lakes
immediately cooled
to enjoy the heat of the day

~
this is my first attempt of portraying someone in water
a fun challenge
that will require more practice ;-)

Summer beauty!

    Your work is always stunning Tammie, even the 'firsts'. We have such humid summers here in CT, many days I would have loved to twitch my nose & join her & her birdy friend in your part of the universe ;-)

  7. I love the image … immersed in the waters … bird in hand … it's very poetic to me!

    And for what it's worth, there's a part of me that envies your hot summer. I'm still waiting for August's heat to arrive. So are my tomatoes and peppers and eggplant!

  10. Hi, Tammie, I see that your artwork reflects much feeling. when, an illustration, drawing or painting reflects and transmits feeling, nothing else matters
    I think you should be a person who feels, and lives in contact with nature, right?
    people living in contact with nature have the transparent heart. and it shows in his art.
    have a nice weekend!!! :)

  12. WOW.....MONTANA, HUH? Oh Tammie, your art, so colorful and free! Not an easy task to paint water. I tried it once and it was tricky; I used white to paint a glass, and used a bit of blue to paint the water in the glass...it was DIFFICULT! But your lovely painting depicts a freedom that spells out summer. And your home state...WOW! Enjoy and thank you for coming by! Anita
