On the Edge of Summer captures a quiet moment of anticipation — sun-warmed skin, cool water below, and the gentle pause before slipping beneath the surface.
The cropped figure and stillness of the pose invite the viewer into a private, familiar moment, while shifting reflections of turquoise, deep blue and soft light bring movement and depth to the water. There is a sense of nostalgia here — of long summer days, bare feet and nowhere else to be.
A contemporary figurative work celebrating the beauty found in simple, fleeting moments.
The composition centres on a cropped female figure seated at the edge of a swimming pool, her legs extending into the water and her feet just beneath the surface. A deep navy swimsuit anchors the figure against a luminous palette of turquoise, teal, aqua and rich ocean blues. Reflections and shifting tones create a sense of depth and movement through the water, while the warm peach and golden tones of the skin provide a striking contrast to the cooler palette. The close crop and simplified composition give the work a contemporary feel, with the subtle ripples around the feet capturing the quiet movement of water against an otherwise still scene.
Sun-soaked afternoons.
Cool blue water.
Bare skin and dangling feet.
Slow days and nowhere to be.
A little daydreaming.
A little remembering.
And the feeling that summer could go on forever.
