I could go on and on.
I have undoubtedly left out hundreds of talented artists who paint pools and people in them. So, forgive me. I just hope you can appreciate the small sampling of talent I found and find their work as inspiring and captivating as I do.
Be sure to read Part I (great paintings of pools without people) and Part II (paintings of people swimming).
