• What is the title, who is the creator, and where did you purchase it?

  Underwater Exploration, by Sidney Gary, at his one-man show at Art Space on Park Boulevard in West Cape May last summer.

  
  

• What first drew you to the item and has that sentiment changed in any way?

  I have always admired Sidney's work, but he usually does still lifes. I bought this because it was different than most of the other pieces in his show. It has a lot of action and directional lines. I also appreciate the contrasting colors between the foreground and background. The paint is layered so that the brights have a certain luminosity that readily catches your eye.

  
  

• Does this item fit with other parts of your collection, or is it different for you?

  This is almost like something I would paint...all kinds of colors and textures jumbled on top of one another. Someone who was visiting my home studio actually asked if I had painted it. I hope he had as much fun creating it as I do when I paint.

  
  

• Where do you display or use it?

  This is currently hanging in our Florida room, up over top of the windows that wrap around 3 walls. It's the perfect size for the space, and has a bright enough colors to draw attention, even up fairly high.
