Original artwork description:

In "Splash of Lime", the viewer is transported to a serene and enchanting summer scene that exudes both serenity and a touch of nostalgia. This mixed media painting, rendered on a large canvas, blends various elements to create a sensory journey to a warm summer day by the sea.

In the foreground of the composition is a young girl, perhaps a mirage from our own childhood memories, walking confidently in the embrace of the shimmering sea. Surrounded by a vibrant lime-green swimming belt, her silhouette stands out against the surrounding soft blue and sea green hues of the water, evoking both a sense of security and adventure. The lime-green accent becomes a focal point, symbolising a touch of daring in an otherwise soothing ambience.

But what really sets "Splash of Lime" apart is the layer of intrigue and mystery embedded in the canvas. Ghostly letters, vaguely visible through the layers of acrylic paint, create an enigmatic texture in the background. These letters, like fragments of forgotten conversations or musings, form a whispered narrative that invites the viewer to weave their own stories and interpretations, adding a rich layer of depth to the artwork.

"Splash of Lime" captures the essence of a fleeting moment - a memory suspended in time, where the heat of the summer day collides harmoniously with the refreshing embrace of the sea. It is a visual symphony that stirs the heart and invites contemplation, inviting us to relive our own encounters with the sea and reflect on the life that is constantly unfolding before us.
