Description:
This modern French oil painting by Bernadette Kelly presents an abstracted yet evocative poolside scene where figures are seen engaged in quiet interactions The composition is bathed in cool blues and vibrant turquoise hues capturing the shimmering reflections of water and the airy openness of a sunlit pool house
On the far left two figures appear to be chatting standing near the edge of the interior space while in the center another figure sits in contemplation as a fourth figure walks out toward the pool The vertical architectural elements suggest large windows or open pillars framing the transition between the shaded interior and the bright outdoor space creating a harmonious contrast between structure and fluidity
Kelly’s gestural brushwork and softened forms infuse the painting with a sense of movement and atmosphere making the figures feel both present and ephemeral A fascinating study of light space and human interaction this work offers an elegant balance between abstraction and narrative
A compelling addition to any collection of 20th century French figurative or abstract art this painting is perfect for those who appreciate atmospheric compositions dynamic color contrasts and the quiet beauty of everyday leisure scenes
