Description:
This modern French oil painting by Bernadette Kelly presents an abstracted yet evocative poolside scene where figures are seen engaged in quiet interactions The composition is bathed in cool blues and vibrant turquoise hues capturing the shimmering reflections of water and the airy openness of a sunlit pool house
On the far left two figures appear to be chatting standing near the edge of the interior space while in the center another figure sits in contemplation as a fourth figure walks out toward the pool The vertical architectural elements suggest large windows or open pillars framing the transition between the shaded interior and the bright outdoor space creating a harmonious contrast between structure and fluidity
Kelly’s gestural brushwork and softened forms infuse the painting with a sense of movement and atmosphere making the figures feel both present and ephemeral A fascinating study of light space and human interaction this work offers an elegant balance between abstraction and narrative
A compelling addition to any collection of 20th century French figurative or abstract art this painting is perfect for those who appreciate atmospheric compositions dynamic color contrasts and the quiet beauty of everyday leisure scenes

Artist Comments
"In the late afternoon, just after the golden hour, the backlights are on as well as all the lights in my friend's house," explains artist Mitchell Freifeld. "They have even turned on the light in their excellent example of a classic mid-century kidney-shaped swimming pool, so that everything glows all shades of blue on this midsummer's eve."
About the Artist
Mitchell Freifeld cannot remember a time when he did not draw and paint. He won his first juried show at age 10 and decided that someday, he'd be a 'real painter.' He settled in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early '70s and got involved in the burgeoning tech industry. From there, he moved to Portland upon accepting an information technology position. On the drive home after being laid off the day of the September 11 terrorist attacks, he realized life is short...

The Bathers I, Figurative, Texas artist, Women in the Arts, 9x12" oil on birch
Located in Houston, TX
LOOK FOR FREE SHIPPING AT CHECKOUT. IF NOT AVAILABLE, GALLERY OFFERS FREE SHIPPING.
ARTIST EXPLANATION OF THE PAINTINGS:
Bathers: 12 x 9 oil on cradled birch panel. Ready to hang with wire on the back
They are blurred. So I paint them with a regular brush, let the paint get partially dry, and then I use a brush to go over it many times to blur the paint.
Sometime if it gets too blurred I go back in and do some more painting to define an area, and then use a big special brush to blur the image again.
