Detail of Swim Girls by DrunkenNinja on Worth1000. Click for full image (1,023px × 958px)

On a hot summer day a bit of flippering in the sea is healthy, refreshing and fun — especially if you do it with a friend. In this image, two Bouguereau girls team up for a dip in the ocean. The picture was created by digital artist DrunkenNinja for the third edition of the Ren Recreation contest on Worth1000, in July 2009.

The image cleverly combines two Bouguereau paintings, The Bather (1879) and Après le Bain (After the Bath, 1875). Below you can view the full version of Swim Girls and the two sources.
