This painting depicts the negro spiritual Wade in the Water, and was painted beside the water while this music was being sung–live– behind me in the background.
It is 30″x40″ and done in acrylic collage.
See the whole painting above with a couple close-up details below.
I painted it at Creative Arts Camp to film time lapses to go into the video I’m making for my new artist website, which will go live this fall.

Stunning collage, Wade in the Water. ‘Twas a treasure to observe your process and get glimpses of the work in progress.
Love this, Polly!!!!
Wade in the Water. For me the painting exemplifies precisely that wading in the metaphorical waters of Creative Arts Week. What an experience! And we did plenty of lake wading as well.
