I LOVE this artwork, Susan, it's delightful! I'm enjoying the movement of the figures so much.
Love the glimpse of these swimming spots. I have a newsletter lined up all about my love for the ocean, I'm sure that I'm part sea creature. But I have to draw a line at freezing cold water. I can't get into the polar bear swims or freezing showers that have become so popular. Much respect to you!
Love that you're continuing forward with awareness and self-compassion for what you need on this particular art journey. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hi Aimee - thank you so much! So happy to hear you like the artwork. I also appreciate your lovely feedback. Despite the struggles of getting the figures ‘right’ I did enjoy myself thinking about swimming in the ocean while I was painting.
I love that you draw a kind at freezing water! That’s me - when it comes to riding my bike and it’s freezing or far too windy.
Looking forward to reading your newsletter about your love for the ocean. Will keep my eye for it. X
Hi Linn - I like the sound of moving mediation, that’s a lovely way to describe it. So good that you’ve found a good local swimmin pool, that’s always motivating. My local pool makes me sad because it’s so tight and not even 25 meters. I've definitely been spoiled in the past with access to proper swimming pools and warmer climate ☺️
Dunk swimming is for sure invigorating and fun to do knowing you can have a hot tea afterwards.
LOVE this. The art work, the pictures and the cold water swimming. I am a big fan - swimming daily in the ocean of the south coast of the UK, so drawn to anything outdoorsy swimmsy! Thanks for this, I just subscribed.
A stunning post, Susan! I'm not much of a swimmer - I can't swim an actual stroke - but I enjoy being in the water even if I'm just floating, bobbing or doggy-paddling. Pre-Covid I would 'swim' almost daily at a local pool in an effort to improve. Well, I never did improve, but not only did I hugely improve my fitness I found I deeply enjoyed the thinking time and space that the repetitive movements lulled me into. You've inspired me to think about doing it again, so thank you!

I’m not a particularly strong swimmer but I have found my local pool a good spot for some moving meditation. Swimming lengths.
And when I met my partner 4 years ago we took up cold water swimming. Though perhaps what I do (at least Nov-March) is more like a “dunk”.
It feels invigorating non the less.
