A swimmer floats on a bright yellow-green kickboard in brilliant turquoise water, with a sandy beach and concrete pier in the foreground and the Chicago skyline rising majestically across the lake under a partly cloudy sky. The painting combines crisp graphic shapes, clean lines, and a saturated color palette to capture a moment of summer leisure against an urban backdrop. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
