Midnight Water Play – Original Figurative Painting by Cathy Rodwell

Midnight Water Play is an evocative original oil painting by Cathy Rodwell, filled with tenderness, wonder, and quiet imagination. At the water’s edge, a young girl in a glowing magenta dress crouches on a jagged moonlit rock, her golden hair falling like sunlight as she gently releases a tiny golden-sailed boat into swirling midnight-blue currents.

The surrounding water ripples outward in hypnotic patterns, reflecting scattered stars from the night sky above. Rich layered glazes and luminous impasto create a dreamlike depth, giving the painting both emotional resonance and a sense of quiet hope. Cathy Rodwell’s expressive use of colour and texture captures a poignant moment that feels intimate, contemplative, and full of story.

A beautiful piece for collectors drawn to narrative-driven figurative art, childhood symbolism, and interiors that invite reflection, Midnight Water Play is presented on an original gallery-wrapped canvas with a depth of 4 cm. Measuring 92 x 76 cm, it is ready to become a captivating focal point in your space
