Football on the Beach
This turned out to be a quickie for me, and a lot of fun. This little boy's mother is a hairdresser and practices on her son. This time he had bright blond highlights in front. But he is all boy and has quite an arm.
I started using sun thickened linseed oil on this one, and discovered I needed some advice, thanks Michael! Palette is all earth tones and I still got vibrant color. Vermillion and Ruby lake mke up the shirt.
It's 16x20 on a cradled panel.

Jean,
Lovely boy. Lovely face. I like the simple composition, it works well with the subject. It is fun, isn't it!

Thank you John, this was a fun day on the beach, and brought up nice memories while I was painting it. This young man comes every weekend to stay so he got to watch it unfold. He modeled for his freckles last weekend and made sure I found every one.
I took better photos today. My camera intensifies the red tones, so I decreased the contrast and saturation to the minimum. My Photoshop program is still lost on the old computer so I can't do anymore adjusting yet. Computer crashes are a real pain! I hope these post more realistic.

Jean,
I've been meaning to tell you how much I love this piece! I love the skin tones you achieved and his expression is priceless. Like you said, "all boy". The atmosphere you created is so real in this painting! I can almost hear the waves coming in.
Congratulations,
Julie

Thank you Julie, I'm glad you like it. It was a very cloudy, windy day, and we had two rough and tumble little boys with us. The beach was empty so we had the whole thing to ourselves. They played football and I took pictures.

Jean,
This may be my favorite of yours as well... I love the texture in the hair and water.
This has such a sense of a cold day on the beach, of course that's kind of my view of Wisconsin. My dad used to say "July in Wisconsin is just three weeks of bad sledding.")
