ADORABLE IN BLUE AT THE BEACH

9 X 12 OIL ON HARD BOARD CANVAS PANEL
This is a one hour demo I painted for my workshop a couple of weeks ago.
This figure was a lot darker than the background with a few touches of light hitting.
Keeping the edges soft lends more of an impression of movement.  The figures in the background
were painting with just a couple of stokes capturing the gesture..

DARK SKINNED LITTLE BEAUTY AT THE BEACH

10 X 8 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS
This cute little girl was enjoying  a beautiful September day at the beach. I am enjoying the slightly cooler weather here on the Alabama Gulf Coast, too.
I used  a loaded brush and a palette knife to apply the oils thickly on this figurative painting..
If you have good photos of your kids involved in their play, I can be commissioned to do a casual impressionistic portrait painting for you.
The 8 x 10s start at around $400..  Great gifts for Christmas if you hurry!
  have here.
