Rise To The Surface

My second oil painting in ten years. I have really enjoyed painting this. I hope it's dry in time for the exhibition on Sunday... Otherwise I might have to hang it next to a sign saying 'wet paint'!!

Thanks to ~elreviae for the inspiration. I saw her wonderful piece Raven's Rest [link] and immediately pictured a woman leaping from the water.

Thanks also to ~mjranum-stock for the original stock image [link] which has inspired not only ~elreviae in the first place but now also my painting too.

P.S. It's still wet so that's why the image isn't great as I had to take a photo and the flash has caught the surface a little. When it's dry I'll scan it properly and put a better quality image on here.
