I am trying to do more figures, and children present more of a challenge since their proportions are so different than adults. This is from a photo taken by my father of me as a child at Moody Beach in Maine. The photo is black and white, so I had to imagine the colors.

What a great little painting. It is so nice that you could bring back a but of your childhood memories with a painting. Darling.
Had to laugh because my first thought was that I've been called a moody beach before. LOLOL Anyway, I think this is gorgeous, Catherine! I remember wearing what we here called "sunsuits" and they were just as you've painted. I haven't seen those in years (they didn't have them when my own daughters were little). And look at your gorgeous hair!
CopperTone baby!
Absolutely beautiful, Cathy!
Beautiful- you captured a wonderful feeling in this. I love the skin tones and the colors are gorgeous!
Catherine, what a beautiful painting! You did such a great job with the colors and you look adorable. I love the doggie in the post above also!!
I'm impressed that you were able to add colors from a black and white photo and do it so beautifully!! This is a fantastic painting!
