Healing Waters Painting

I made this painting after I visited Folly Beach, South Carolina, which is located in the United States, near Charleston. I worked from my sketches and reference photos to capture the movement, energy and feeling of the water. It was warm like bath water, and smelled of salt. I love how Vincent Van Gogh captured the feeling of water in his Impressionist paintings. They have loose, painterly strokes of broken color. I saw an exhibition of his work at the Art Institute of Chicago days before I painted this. The memory of his thick impasto application of paint and the way he suggested the water without making a photo-realist image stuck with me. I hope viewers will feel a sense of calm and relief when they look at this painting. The water is healing for me, and I hope it will be for them, as well.
