Children

This weeks subject at Avon Valley Artists was children. I knew the subject was approaching and had found a lovely picture of a young boy enjoying the taclie sensation of handling a modern bird sculpture. It had several advantages, not least the inclusion of plenty of garden and some flowers, but most of all, his face was hidden, something I have never got to grips with, in all my years of painting!

It was a simple 2 hour exercise, which I really enjoyed, but do not think this one will get a frame.



Usual paper, and usual palette and I think it will be called something like....'I Only Want To Touch!'

  1. This has an almost Victorian feel to it reminiscent of some of the early children photographs that enjoyed such a vogue. Great colour in this.

  2. Not so keen on this one Yvonne although executed with your usual skill. It's good to get out of the comfort zone though as we all agree.
