...the bathers win again....

work in progress

an update on the little girl in the dress....
I showed the beginnings of this painting
 way back on 11th June....it was
a request for a gallery client....
they want three boys and a girl...
I didn't think the dress looked right...
so she's now in bathers...
...or togs.... cozzie....swimsuit....
depending on what part
of Australia you are in !

work in progress......

there's still a bit of tweaking to do, then varnishing and finishing....then she'll be off to the Gallery for display to their client.

.....I hope her new family approves of her change of attire!

                        ...I found this picture in the local paper a long time ago....
                 it's so difficult to get photos of children these days
with all the privacy laws.....
         and I really loved the boy with the icecream,
                                    the variety of hats  and the excited stoop of the little girl.

                                                                              But when I painted the little girl
                                                                       stooping she looked decidedly odd....
                                                                         what works in a photo often looks
                                                                              hideous in a painting!!



...tomorrow I'll show you how these little people grew and developed.
