Today's painting is inspired by a current summer photo of our grandkids in Melbourne, Victoria, 2 year old cousins, sons of a niece & a nephew. This carefree photo symbolizes the early resolution of the pandemic in Australia. My nephew informed me that as early as November 2020, Victoria, Australia has zero covid cases after a long 6 months lockdown. The painting has challenges that I tried to meet or solve:(1) shape & motion of crashing waves (2) vary the softness & intensity of the sand (3) make the young runners lifelike & interesting as shown from their backsides only without faces (4) compose the whole scenery without overworking (5) invite the viewers to join the summertime party of the joeys of Victoria. A joey is a young kangaroo! Happy Daylight fellow artists!
Love those waves!
ReplyDeleteYou’ve captured their movement well - the way little kids run pell mell towards the exciting waves! Very sweet painting - except for that shark....
