BEACH BALL


At the local parade last summer beach balls were being thrown to the many children lining the streets. I caught a snapshot of this mother and little girl just when mom caught the ball. The figure has always interested me and while I usually work large scale with figures; I pulled out this small canvas for this painting. I enjoyed the challenge of the confined space.

The gestures are great and the colors are wonderfully full of light. Well done!
Really nice, strong shapes in this Linda. Perfect!
Your figurative work is quite inspiring!! Interesting how you got so much information in a small space and so beautifully too.

Really nice painting, Linda. I love the simplicity of the figures. You were painting shapes, not colors. Good job!

Love the cropped in viewpoint and those loose brushstrokes. I admire your "economical" brushwork...truly less is more. Great job, Linda.

I find it interesting that you associate figure painting with larger works... This is such a beatiful little gem. The areas of high contrast in front really make it sing.
