Oil. This is a painting I did a
few years ago, and just took a
photo. It is Patrick younger. he
is in my other paintings " I
caught the the Big one and
"Looking for Fish"
ya know what I like so much about this painting .. the center of it . you captured that joy he is experiencing at that very moment and the rest of the painting is just a compliment without distracting you from the joy.
Great Job
looks very exciting, I have been wanting to do some portraits of my daughter as well from photos, Ive tryed drawing her while she is doing something but she never stays in one spot longer then 30 seconds lol
Artist Reply: Kayleigh, Thank you. You have to take a photo, Then refer to her when you can.
Thank you Joan. I've got a new grandson and can't wait for the day when I will be photographing him in a stream. This touches so many chords of nostalgia as well. Very nicely done.
Artist Reply: Mike, Thank you. My grandchildren have had so much fun playing in our brook, and I have done many paintings of them in the brook.
