About the Item
This compelling fine art painting presents a rural above-ground pool, enclosed by a makeshift chain-link fence, set against a sunlit landscape of rolling green grass and dense tree lines. Executed in contemporary realism, the composition juxtaposes the reflective blue pool water with the surrounding textures of metal fencing, plastic patio chairs, and a classic charcoal grill, evoking a nostalgic atmosphere of summertime leisure.
The artist skillfully captures the interplay of light and shadow, as the warm golden hues of the background contrast with the cooler tones of the pool’s surface. Subtle details, such as the clipped clothespins and empty baskets, add an element of storytelling, suggesting the quiet remnants of past activity. With meticulous brushwork and strong perspective, this piece offers a thought-provoking balance between private and public space, security and openness.
Ideal for collectors of American realism, landscape paintings, and modern figurative art, this artwork speaks to themes of nostalgia, rural leisure, and everyday life, making it a powerful addition to gallery exhibitions, private collections, and contemporary interior design.

Classic Pool, Oil Painting
By Mitchell Freifeld
Located in San Francisco, CA
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

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...
