Water as a Subject for Artwork | Poppsee

Water has been around forever..or a least a remarkably long time, and people have been painting it since prehistoric times.

Whether is it a wavy line on a cave wall, a dark ominous ocean from the Renaissance, or the ethereal Water Lilies by Claude Monet, water is a alluring subject.

While Claude Monet's Water Lilies are absolutely lovely, my style leans more to the contemporary. I absolutely love this artwork!

The close up detail of something as simple as water becomes intricate and intriguing with the movement of the lines and I love that this faded blue green turquoise is both soothing and colorful at the same time as well.

Just as water is dangerous yet at the same time soothing, I find a yin and yang to this artwork, noticing all of the detail in the movement of the water but being calmed by it at the same time. It is a perfect subject for summertime here in Orlando. I hope you are all visiting your favorite beach or pool! Maybe you can photograph the water and create something as beautiful as this!
