I have always been an admirer of David Hockney. His pool images are famous. Recently I was glad to visit the exhibition "Dass Nackte Leben." in the LWL in Münster, Germany. A couple of paintings of David Hockney could be seen there.
His painting Peter Getting Out of Nick's Pool, 1966 which was not seen in the exhibition, stayed in my head. Recently I found an interesting image on the web which shows the same theme but in a different setting. I wanted to paint this.. and the above painting is the result. I called the man Kevin because he needed a name.
It is painted on linen with a dark color base made of tempera. All paints are handmade. The paintings together measure 57 cm by 107 cm.
