sisters

 I love the contrast in body posture of these two.  The sister in the front is all about the sand with no regard to anything but having fun and the older sister in the back has reached the age where she is a bit more reserved and dainty. I'm afraid I would be a bit more like the sister in the front. Once a tomboy...
Where did the term "tom boy" come from?  Google question for the day.
 This is painted on a 16 x 20 gallery wrapped canvas and is commissioned.

  1. Cette peinture est vraiment une de mes préférées... Comme vous le dites si parfaitement bien le contraste des jeux de jambes est très intéressant dans la composition ainsi que les traits de caractères que vous avez capturés remarquablement.
    Une belle scène... Tout l'amour de l'enfance se déroule sous mes yeux grâce à votre belle oeuvre.
    gros bisous et bon weekend.

  2. Beautifully painted, Carol. I agree with you about the body language of these girls. To me it's one of the joys of painting children. It speaks just as loudly as voices.

  4. I'd have been the older sister. LOL Still a fabulous piece, Carol. I think their mom will be thrilled. Also, I love the line of surf behind them both.
