Bathers, or Learning to Swim

 When I was at the 2009 workshop at Emma Lake in northern Saskatchewan, I decided to paint children learning to swim; this was the result of my recently helping at my grandson's swimming lessons.  The light that was coming into the pool area created bright reflections bouncing around and that led to my painting in a sort of impressionist way.

April 23, 1990




 I noticed this in an old sketchbook.  Now I am going to see if I can find some watercolours that I painted that day.








Now looking back after all these years, there is something I really really like about them.  Funny, hey?
