A Painting for Today



"Coney Island Beach Waders"
12" x 16"
oil on studio canvas
I haven't painted my granddaughter yet.  She is 28 months old and lives far, far away in Brooklyn, N.Y.  This is her and my son-in-law in the ocean during a summer visit to Coney Island.  Appropriate to look at - as well as paint, since we are destined to have more snow tonight.

Ha, glad you mentioned that, I took the original photo last evening after sunset...the lighting was horrible. Took it again this morning and replaced it. Should look better now. Let me know if it doesn't.
