Intermediate Too empty?
I’m thinking there’s something missing here, maybe. My husband says it’s done.
Things I could add:
1- flip flops on the tiles 2- make a few tiles look wet, as if someone has climbed out or jumped in 3- feet or legs swimming off the painting in the bottom 4- a white pool border (extra set of tiles)
Any other suggestions are welcome.
But essentially, what do you think?
I usually prefer my paintings to have a sense of mystery/uneasiness in them, so I like the “not sure how far away/big this is meant to be” aspect, which would essentially be ruined by adding objects that would create a scale.
