I know this is a stretch, but here is a tribute to a favorite painter of mine, Thomas Eakins. I love his sense of light and color. This the Swimming Hole, done in 1884. I studied this while starting a Master's program at the University of Montana and the instructor called it 'Diego and his Friends' because he had a dog named Diego who looked just like the dog in the picture. so many of the younger students still think that is the real name of the painting! I love that he did this and it makes me think of when I tech, what bad jokes are my students taking for real? anyways, here is the inspiration, and my quicksketch depiction of it ( think I need more figures?)

You at least need to add Diego!
