Swim is a meditation on simple elements—skin, light, water—rendered with confident restraint. A solitary figure slips through a field of shifting color, where blue-greens carry cool depth and pale warms flash like sun on ripples. Richard Wieth narrows the vocabulary on purpose, letting rhythm and temperature do the expressive work. The image breathes; the paint feels fresh.
 
 
Look for the way small accents of thicker paint catch the surface, how edges at the shoulder and hand sharpen just enough to anchor the gesture. The rest remains atmospheric, a soft focus that invites you closer. As room light changes, so does the painting’s balance, making it a quiet companion piece that never grows static.
