I believe ma and Jane are in this picture. My twin Jane and me! This is classic, colorful, simple and yet, stunning colors, design and presented so well for this viewing box. Great memories I have of me as a twin when I was little. Thanks Linda!

What a great summery scene! These two young girls wearing their bathing suits as they stand in the shallow part of the water, the first girl has curly blonde hair and wears a purple suit with a lighter purple top that is outlined in the deep purple , the other has wavy ginger colored hair in a shoulder length bob style and wears a two toned red suit, they are facing the incoming waves, as they stand in the water that is just above their ankles , I can see that the sun is shining as I see it's reflection on the water, I love the way you show the depth of the water and the waves by the depth of the color and the frothy white shows the motion. Both girls are well created with good form and accurate proportions, this Brings a happy feeling to the viewer , feeling the excitement of the two girls at the beach , it's warm and they will have so much fun! This is very well presented and was an absolute pleasure to view!

Great work Linda!
I am so loving the way you show their feet in the water!! So coooool! Love the mood, the two girls facing towards the ocean and the colors and movement of the breaking wave.
Nice work!!!

Comment from Arctic Artist
This kind of reminds me of some times in my childhood. My mom used to like to go fishing a lot. For me it was more about trying to play in the water. This is very nicely done. The colors blend very well together. The girls clothes are drawn very well with all the shading, looks so real. I like the pastel look of it too.. I like how you can still see their feet in the water, So cool. Overall very interesting to look at. Thank you for sharing you work and good luck in the contest!! :D

I see a possible contest winner here. I can feel a summer hot day looking at this image. Nice reflections in the water and the kids are in peaceful harmony. It maybe a great illustration for a book. Good job!!!

Comment from Mr Jones
this is another fantastic painting from you. the colour, the atmosphere and vitaliy of the wave. so crisp and fresh looking. it is the perfect summer vibe and the most wonderful feelgood factor. i think the magic of the sea never wears off, even when we get older we can still dream of standing right here.

Beautifully done, Linda. Great job combining the two mediums. Excellent water colors and waves. The girls invite a story wondering what they are thinking. A cheerful piece that brings back childhood memories of my own. Good luck in the contest.
