The Turquoise Ball


The Turquoise Ball
8 x 6 pastel on board
$100 (unframed, incl. shipping)
And now for something completely different. My husband and I went to see cherry blossoms in Bethesda yesterday. I took all the obligatory pictures (which I almost never paint), but then saw this little boy with his bright orange shirt and large turquoise ball. I haven't tried to paint a child in a long time--almost never. So this was a challenge but also fun. It's all about color and light and value and shape, but it helps if you give him 5 fingers (which I didn't at first).
