Effervescence

The inspiration for this painting is the reviving touch of sparkling mineral water on a parched palate. Each tiny bubble is a miniature explosion of coolness , awakening the senses and washing away the heat. Straight away you are transported to the shores of Italy with sun drenched terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. Hear the clinking of ice in tall glasses and soak in the dappled light filtering through trees. Even when it’s sweltering outside a bottle of sparkling water can transport to a place of respite and refreshment.
