This is my very first OSWOA painting. This underwater adveture is only 4x6 and the smallest piece I have done so far. It has lots of sparkle, the scan takes a lot away, so the painting does look a lot more magical in real life.
Special thanks to my model Dominika Vasinkova Czech Republic Swim team who also happens to be my little cousin.
