This painting by David King is an oil on board, signed by the artist on the back, and completed in 2020. The figure in the painting is portrayed alone in a small pink pool, and the background is impressionist with color hues of lavender, white, pale blue and green.

It is part of a social distancing themed series of work King completed during Ohio’s recent shelter at home guidelines.
