Much of the Background

I have not touched the members of the family yet so they are still very sketchy. I spent my time today working on the water and background. The small painting that I made a few weeks ago is a big help as a reference. I did change a few things. In the small work, the girl's arm is straight. I changed it to a bent arm so that it draws you back into the painting instead of just having a rectangle of blue ocean on the left side of the work. Also, in her hand in the large work, she will be holding a small beach stone that she picked up during the shooting.

  1. Christine, it is coming along SO well. It is going to be fabulous! I can't wait to see it in a couple of days (if you let me). I only hope I get a chance to see the finished work in person before it goes to the owners. This is so exciting.
