I really love her paintings and something about some of the images on this site reminded me of her work. Maybe you'll like it? http://www.alisonhallcooley.com/ I recently discovered the website of an old schoolmate and now artist living (I believe) in Nantucket.

The strong light source from above adds a great depth to the figure in the atmospheric water, (giving a blue tint to everything.) Great job on your work I like the way you are getting at the beauty of figures in and around water without being overly sexual in their apparel (no thongs, or sports illustrated versions) just very beautiful people enjoying themselves (I posted this on her blog also)I love the gesture of the figure and the paint drips give the feel that the painting itself came out of the water.

Our house also looks like a construction site, and practically every day there is some new disaster, usually plumbing related. Don't worry, it will all be fine. I can't wait to get to the decorating part. I can appreciate the feeling.
