Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

Inspired by both the sensation of floating under the surface of the water, and feeling the gentle movement of the material of your dress. She is taking a moment to both cherish the sensation and cherish herself. A rebirth! Named after Pulitzer Prize winner Edna St Vincent Millay's sonnet "I Think I Should Have Loved You Presently (Sonnet IX)".
As with most of Kerry's paintings, she has painted in layers. The background uses action painting (expressionistic) techniques - pouring, dripping, splashing paint and involving my body in the painting process rather than just the paintbrush. The figure was created using contemporary art pop art techniques and stencils, and a further layer of hand painting brought the foreground and background together. Kerry's palette uses strong contrasts to capture a mood of joy and strength.

Painted onto canvas - the face of the painting measures 90cm x 120cm. It is professionally stretched and ready to hang and enjoy! Unfortunately I don’t have a photo of it stretched other than me standing beside it at an exhibition opening.
