We were waiting for our boat to take us back to Stresa, Italy. People were mingling and moving so a quick impulse of each figure was all I could pencil in on the paper before adding paint. Painting small like this, as well as painting in a looser style, does not come naturally to me. I love the look, though, so the challenge was on.
One of my cousins selected this painting to take home with her. Her older son, Reid, is a budding artist, and when they were here a couple of years ago, he'd head to the studio to paint as soon as he woke up each morning. His artistic talent was obvious even at that young age.

I love the momvement in this piece!
you captured the movement perfectly, love the light!
I love the look, too. Especially the way that you've handled the background and applied the paint to the figures.
I love the look of this too - captures a moment so much more than a snapshot.
Love the sparkling light in this one and the spontaneous figure shapes. No wonder your cousin wanted to take it home.
