About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Gary Leonard creates a striking portrait of a woman plunging into the water. The large, spontaneous brushstrokes of the wave merge into the emotional flow and energy of the aquatic expanse. The lady carries a solemn expression and is clad in a dark blue dress that blends with the tides.
About the Artist
Through composition, color, texture and more, Gary Leonard celebrates beauty. His works start with the subject, but then he lets the work evolve into a more complex composition. Oftentimes, he enjoys merging figures with abstract images and varying textures. He hopes that his works will leave the viewer with a sense of warmth and peace. When he's not making art, he enjoys listening to music and learning how to play the piano.
