"Water Dance" (sold)

7"x5"

Oil on Gessoboard

Doing this little painting was a welcome reminder of the hot hot weather we had until just a few days ago--now it must be no warmer than the high 60's! This little girl was playing in a fountain at the waterfront park in Portland, OR and loving it. It was a kick watching the kids run in and out of the spray, and then there were those who were barely getting their feet wet and feeling pretty daring about that!

Another painting for my show, and one that I'm pretty pleased with! After the last two days working on the cowgirl painting, I needed something that felt like it was working!!

I saw this little girl at a bluegrass festival last Friday and was quite taken with her! My little painting here doesn't do her justice. Maybe it will be a warm-up for something that does! I loved the reflected light on her face, but had quite a time with the skin tones. I really need to work on that.

This is not today's painting! Today's painting just was going nowhere! I will either try to resolve it or do another version, or both, but I decided to dig into my reserves for today's post. I painted this last August--I remember being so surprised when I finished it! I see some things I'd change now, but on the whole, I'm pretty happy with it. I was struck by contrast of her aloofness and his awkwardness--and glad I wasn't sitting at the same table!
