At The Beach
I began this painting in January and just completed it today. It will be presented to my clients next week. This is the first oil commission I have ever completed so I am quite nervousl I have such little experience in oils and no experience in landscapes so I'll admit to some blaring problems with this painting. But there are aspects of it I like and boy, did I learn a lot from accepting this challenge.
Now I am looking forward to doing a portrait painting, head and shoulder. I have four or five images to choose from - eye candy I have been dyjng to paint!
Thanks for looking,
Patty

Patty, this is a great painting. I'm sure your clients will love it! I love the elegant simplicity of this setting amplifying the activity of these four; and they are evidently very active. Just beautiful! It was great to see your progress in the critiques section. Congratulations on your success here.
How large is this by the way? Are you able to share some close-ups of these kids?
Garth

Patty, this turned out splendidly--very simple, restrained and well balanced. I too, would like to see some close-ups of the children. Congratulations on a commission well done! And have fun with your next painting!

Your responses are so appreciated. I have been so blind to this painting for so long, just pushing myself to finish it. So great to read your comments.
Garth, the painting is 24 x 36, which looks small in the store but HUGE when I put it on my easel and stared at a blank canvas! I will post some close ups.
Marvin, your comment means the world to me...
Alexandra, thank you for your help in the critiques section...you helped me to understand so much about the light effects on water, shallow and deep.
