The pleasure of living 

"The Pleasure of Living" is a painting by Nigel Van Wieck, a 20th-century artist, that depicts a leisurely scene on a boat. Three women are lounging in white beanbags, enjoying the sun and the view. The cool blue tones of the water and sky contrast with the warmth of the sunlight and the colorful clothing of the figures, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The artist's use of realistic detail and strong composition make the painting visually appealing and reminiscent of a relaxing summer day on the water. This painting is likely a part of Van Wieck's broader body of work which often features scenes of leisure and indulgence.
