Beautiful work Sarah, Very interesting the inter action between the children, the reflections, birds in the background, textures of the sand and water. Dynamic !

Imho could be improved by a landscape crop. Best regards Col.

Hi Colin, pleased you liked the theme of this. I was trying to create a oil on canvas effect with a small point of focus being the children and the rest a big expansion of sea and sky. I think there are two versions the other being your idea of cropping into a landscape making the children the stronger focus, which is a good idea. Many thanks for your feedback and encouragement. Best wishes. Sarah.

Hi Sarah,

  Beautiful creative scene with wonderful painting effect.  Take care, Patsy

Hi Patsy, really pleased you liked the effect. Thanks for stopping by. Best wishes. Sarah.

Please, take my advice, Sarah: Paint the children too! Otherwise well done and I don't know how you can make such a persuasive brush effect!

Cheers

Hi Pierre, Great to hear from you and will definitely take your advice. I'm still a bit out of my comfort zone with this kind of thing and with landscapes in general and probably have to be a little bit bolder but I will have a go at trying to do a convincing painting effect on the children. Hopefully it won't obscure them too much. All the best. Sarah.
