The Guy Can Fly

$550.00Price

My son who is the inspiration for this painting, is an outstanding butterfly swimmer. I once had someone at a swim meet say, "He really is beautiful to watch, isn't he? He just eats the water up!"

I was inspired by cubist & expressionist techniques to demonstrate the swimmer's incredibly huge shoulders and powerful arm muscles, as he drives through the water with intense force - almost washing away his competitors. Yet apart from the splashes he makes as he rises out of the water and kicks his legs, there is a wise calmness to the water around him, as if it's a living thing just sitting respectfully waiting for his next command.
