Oh Taryn, I can feel your angst about his leaving for Israel. I have a client who is there now visiting her family. This is a very nice piece and I love your composition.
Love those blues!
I don't suppose your son would be content with just looking at this beautiful painting to get all the sense of adventure he needs? I'd be with you on the lump in the throat, mom.
Had to comment because my daughter just had a baby girl that she named Oakley. I'd never heard of it as a first name but love it. Imagine my surprise to now know of another Oakley in the world!
Nothing but best wishes for you and your son--
This is another wonderful action painting--your quick, sure brush work lends itself so well for this painting. Great figure work as well.
Wonderful color and love the depth... you really captured the "leap." Wishing your son safe travels...hang in there!
Thanks Jane, Cecelia, Autumn Leaves and Linda. He needs to do this, but right now the situation in Israel is riskier than it has been for a while. If only he would take my concerns seriously!
Another wonderful light-filled painting - I love the cool tones in the figure.
This painting makes me think of being a child. In those days I would just jump right in the water. Now there is a careful testing of the temperature and slow submerging of each body part - and even then I sometimes don't get my head under!
It seems that as we get older we stick to things that (we think) are "safe".
I admire your son's leap of faith. I hope he returns with a lifetime of memories.
These are great Taryn. I'm enjoying the movement and yes I too struggle with working from photos. But now after painting outdoors for many years, I feel like it only adds to the studio work.
Thanks Julie and Ron. Julie, yes I agree completely- there is something so wonderful about being young a fearless.
