Taryn, this picture makes me scared thinking about jumping off into the water. Very cool painting; I really like the colors and piece.

I absolutely love this painting. I'm not a swimmer, but it speaks to me of freedom and letting go.

I love the freedom expressed here, the color palette, the rear view of your niece and the composition.

Everyone else has said it...but you have a wonderful sense here of light, color, movement, and a refreshing emotional spirit.
