BEACH

5x7 Oil on Raymar Canvas Panel

This is my submission for Rookie Painter. Take a minute and look at the other submissions. I haven't painted or drawn figures for quite a while so this was really a challenge! Good for a stretch!!

    Pour quelqu'un qui n'a pas l'habitude de peindre les personnages je trouve que vous avez parfaitement réussi à capturer l'essentiel... Cette toile à une âme. Bisous

    Linda - great work on this. Love the captured images, especially of the people - not too much detail, and yet, the images are complete!

    This is a great piece Linda. I like how the movement of the painting is flowing to the left and then the child's gaze is bringing us back to the right. Very thoughtful.
