Undertow

A woman is underwater in murkey waters. There are greens, yellow, and orange colors in the water. She is looking up, her face hidden behind her arm that is reaching out.

I painted this back in 2018 during a hard time of my life. It was inspired by the feeling of overwhelm that I was dealing with and also inspired by underwater photography. The murkiness of the water correlates to the murkiness of my feelings at the time.

This oil painting is on canvas 24x36 and 1.5 inches deep.
