In this watercolor, Wet and Blue, a nude woman leans against a blue drape, evoking both vulnerability and sensual reverie. The contrast between the warm, natural body of the character and the cold, soft tones of blue in the background reflects a state of mind where the physical and the emotional intertwine. The act of getting wet, suggested by the damp sheet and the implied aquatic context, reinforces the artist's idea that the woman is deep in thought, dreaming of a loved one during an intimate moment.

The relaxed posture, with the arm raised and the head tilted, symbolizes a surrender to these romantic thoughts, while maintaining a certain emotional reserve. The leaves and vegetation in the background add an exotic dimension to the scene, reinforcing the idea that this intimate moment takes place in the great outdoors, a place where the woman can indulge in her daydreams.

The choice of colors, mainly blue and earthy tones, creates a powerful visual contrast that underlines the idea of desire and reverie. Blue, traditionally associated with melancholy and introspection, here mixes with bodily sensuality, thus representing the link between physical and emotional experience.
