KITE DAY

6"X8"
OIL ON CANVAS PANEL
SOLD

This is a little girl at the beach on Hilton Head Island. She was out with her family for a fun day of kite flying and running on the beach. What a nice break from painting  still lifes. Still lifes can be very time consuming with the set up, removing and replacing items. With a photo I feel like I have more freedom. I start the painting from a photo but once the drawing is correct, I usually don't look at the photo very often. It's a nice change from all that scrutiny that I give to a still life.

Ahhh -- a beach painting! I love this -- especially like the rendering of her curly hair, as well as the ruffles on her suit. Great job, Anita!

Thanks Linda. It was fun doing a beach painting again.
