Sand Engineers 6" x 6"

SOLD

A small 6"x6" painting of four kids playing on the beach. I used a lot of paint and kept the entire painting very wet while I worked on it, blending the edges vertically. I was trying to give it a feeling of action. Not sure if I succeeded but it was fun to experiment.

Sun, Sand and Friends

Still a little cold here and the paint was on the palette already so I used another reference photo taken last summer to create this painting. I always change the faces - I don't want some kid's mom calling me up and yelling at me for posting their child's picture online. These small pieces are so impressionistic that the people don't really have faces. They have the suggestion of a face. I love the interaction between the kids. The girl in the center is the same one I used in the other piece but I've made her much younger here.
