About the Item

"Morning Swimmer 5" by Cornish artist Jon Doran, crafted in 2023, is an evocative oil painting that captures the serenity of a solitary moment in nature. Measuring 100 x 80 cm and framed to a size of 103.50 x 83.50 cm, this artwork exudes a sense of peace and introspection. The central focus of the painting is a solitary figure, seemingly female, wading into the serene waters. The morning sunlight casts a gentle, soft glow on her form, making her seem almost ethereal. Her positioning, with the water reaching her mid-torso and her gaze directed forward, suggests a moment of pause, perhaps to take in the beauty around her or to reflect on her thoughts. The water is depicted with a masterful blend of colors, from the deeper turquoise and aqua hues suggesting depth, to the light, shimmering reflections that dance on its surface. The play of light on water is captured with meticulous detail, conveying the fluidity and translucence of the waves. The various shades of blue and green, interspersed with whites and creams, not only depict the water's movement but also mirror the sky's vastness. To the left of the composition, rugged cliffs rise imposingly, blanketed in a lush growth of trees and foliage. These cliffs, painted in earthy browns, deep greens, and shadowy blacks, provide a stark contrast to the open water and sky, grounding the scene with a sense of stability and permanence. The texture of the cliffs is rendered with thick, confident brush strokes, imparting a feeling of raw, untamed nature. The sky is a breathtaking expanse of cerulean and pale blues, with patches of white suggesting clouds or areas where the sunlight breaks through. The horizon, where the sky meets the distant land, is painted with softer, muted colors, hinting at the vast distances and the mysteries that lie beyond. The overall mood of "Morning Swimmer 5" is one of contemplation and connection with nature. The juxtaposition of the solitary swimmer against the vastness of the landscape invokes feelings of introspection, solitude, and reverence for the natural world. Framed and ready-to-hang, this painting would undoubtedly be a captivating addition to any collection, offering viewers a tranquil escape into a moment frozen in time.
