<p>In my more recent figurative works, I have started suggesting more of a background, an environment, a setting to place the figures so that the composition lends itself more to letting the observer find a story.</p>
<p>The original reference photo was a simple studio shot, but the pose lent itself to the idea of the model tentatively slipping into the water. You know how it goes, the mind says, yes!, go for a swim, but the body, mmm... that's a bit cool for me. But, the best solution is of course always, just to jump straight in and get the shock of the cold over with.</p>
<p>But that's just my opinion. How do you deal with getting into the cold water?</p>
