{"product_id":"against-the-tide","title":"Against the Tide","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are days when simply keeping your head above water feels like an achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the Tide captures a determined dog paddling through the ocean, viewed from water level as the waves rise and tumble around him. Beneath the surface, fish glide by seeminly oblivious to his efforts, while a red and white channel marker bobs in the distance. Above, three seagulls circle together, watching the scene unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limited palette of teal sky and watercreates a calm, almost dream-like setting and allowing the dog to become the unexpected hero of the composition. Yet the waves tell another story - this is not quite the easy swim he imagined. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with much of my work, I enjoy finding strength and humour in an ordinary moment, giving the characters a story of their own. The dog's determined paddle becomes a reminder that somethimes we are all simply doing our best to keep moving forward even when the tide is working against us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mary Conder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67811465232495,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/2078\/9615\/files\/69164a62e1b8ea140711df10_dog-paddle_1792281524548.jpg?v=1792281837","url":"https:\/\/www.theonlineartgallery.com.au\/products\/against-the-tide","provider":"The Online Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
