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.

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.

Peach Peony....Day 24

  6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one.  It was really HARD!   So many petals going all different ways.  I am pleased with the results.  I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes!  I am happy with this painting however I got here.  This painting is found here :
