This serene and evocative piece, titled “Water Studies #5” by artist Camille Thom, is a captivating exploration of texture and light beneath the surface of water. The work is created using a unique black-and-white photographic base enhanced with delicate oil painting, creating an ethereal underwater scene centered around a softly rendered rainbow trout swimming through dreamy, layered greens and blues. Originally shown by the Anne Reed Gallery in Ketchum, Idaho, this piece measures 21" x 26" and comes ready to hang with gallery backing and original labeling. The minimal wood frame complements the calm nature of the work while allowing the image to breathe.
