I love that paintings can be like a snapshot in time. Akin to a photo but with more imagination and feeling. You can feel the wonder, the water, the joy at being on the beach and in the water – or is it a miserably hot day and some are seeking refuge in the cool water? I don’t know anything about this painting – I love to find scoop… Can you guess the artist? #letmeknow

I did read a short bit about the artist, and as always, it was very interesting. Fascinating to me. Ok, last chance to take a sec to think who this could be… answer is below.
