Underwater Looking Up

After painting the woman underwater, “Underwater Face”, I decided to paint her with part underwater and her head above water, causing an abstract effect. The painting became an award winning piece. The third in the series is “Underwater Diving Dog”, a painting of a dachshund diving for a bone.

Underwater Face

While exhibiting at my hometown show in Georgia, a fellow artist, who painted a lot of portrait paintings, painted an underwater picture of her daughter swimming. It received a lot of attention and the painting received many awards. Years later, I decided to paint several underwater pictures as a self-teaching color study. I painted 3 paintings. The underwater face was the first in the series. The second was from Underwater looking up, through the surface, showing everything above the water distorted and the third was an underwater painting of the Underwater Diving Dog. a painting of a Dachshund diving into a pool after a bone.

Underwater Diving Dog

As many of you know, we had a Dog that is a Dachshund, named Wolfie. He knew his BIG name too, he wasn’t usually in any trouble but when we called him Wolfgang von Johnston, he knew something was wrong in his world.

Since I was doing underwater paintings, I thought I would include him in the set. What does a dog look like from under the water when he dives into the pool? This painting became quite a hit and conversation piece. I painted 2 other underwater paintings: Underwater Face; Underwater Looking Up.
