I don't get a whole lot of commissions but I had a lot of fun working on this one.........that is after I scraped it once, after a bad start but then kept going and worked it till I was satisfied.......My motto is "never give up" ...and I think it payed off on this painting ......The photo, of course does not represent the original painting very well...., something I have to work on,....setting up a photo booth for taking pictures of paintings with the proper lighting and all......... Sold
Congrats. Really rich piece Robin.I love the extreme contrast.

A very sweet painting. Lots of contrast and nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vikki! some of our beaches in the Pacific Northwest look like this ...all rocky with seaweed and barnacles and lots of creatures for kids to find and study....
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda....The girls are very sweet...can you relate!!??
ReplyDeleteThank you, have a great day!
Exquisite! There is something very sophisticated about the composition and the variety of the extent of detail. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Spectacular, Robin! Do tell about your buyer's response... Was it the parents of the children?? They must have been thrilled to pieces...
ReplyDeleteThank you Dar!! That is a much appreciated compliment!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt was the parents of the children. They haven't seen the original painting yet but are both very excited by the photos of the finished painting.
I am sure the mom, who had a glimpse of the painting in the initial phase, is much relieved and so am I!
Oh my...this one makes me very homesick for the beautiful scenery around Puget Sound. What a lovely painting, reminds me of my two sisters and me just a few short years ago!! =) I can understand why the client was thrilled! Well done - I'm sure there will be many more commissioned paintings in your future!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann!!....and you still love to play outside!!.....=]..How is your garden?
ReplyDeleteOne word! Fantastic!! Love your brushwork! Great contrast and color!!
ReplyDeleteMan!!! You are getting better and better. Keep it up, Bro!
ReplyDeleteI tend to struggle with commissions, however, you allowed your personality and expression to show through.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous piece!
Theresa, Thank you!! Your painting style is excellent!
ReplyDeleteHi Mike! Thanks for checking in bro, and thanks for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! I just got back from another trip so I will have to get out and see what you all are painting!
