Waves

A fun painting of  my nephew. I took this photo on the Lido beach at HongKong,as the little one watched the waves rush to his feet.
I have been away from my colors for  long time, so I did this painting just to get my brushes wet again-- but I guess it turned out well enough to share with all of you!
Watercolor on paper, 12"x16"

    I have enjoyed going through your posts and this one is particularly beautiful - the colours and the composition are incredible Arti. And I do hope your Father-in-law is much better now.

    Nice wave action. You did a good job depicting the moving sand and water interface. Not an easy thing to plan out much less do.

    This is so beautiful! I love his pose and his graphic shirt in contrast with the soft ocean.

    Looks like he is contemplating the coldness of those waves. Very nicely done.

    Arti,
    seems like I have missed a lot of good portraits you have been painting of-late !
    they are all wonderful.
    And this one is really nice and different in terms of composition..

    A beautiful balance of colors, Arts, and an exceptional transparency ... I really love those crashing waves that merge with the beach! And those cheerful red and white striped on the T-shirt! Beautiful!
