maureen this is so cute . I like the way this tells the story of a young girl trying to catch minnows. Your soft pastel work brings it together and augments the surroundings. Ray

A cute rendition of a young girl catching minnows in the dark. The background greenery and the rocky sand adds interest; a lovely piece of art.

Brings back memories of myself as a child down at the creek next to our house. We enjoyed catching minnows as well as crayfish and water bugs. An adorable image, I like how you have her peering into her net to see what she has caught. A beautiful scene of childhood innocence!

Hi Maureen, I can imagine the fun this little girl is having, running around in her bare feet catching minnows. I think the image is adorable. Love the little stream and the way you set it up. The grasses and flowers add so much to the image. So enjoyable to let your mind wander here! Nice job! :o) Nancy

So cute and realistic for this scene with a Little Girl catching minnows. I love how you've painted her outfit with bow on her pony tail. The background is beautiful and there's so much life in it, because you have included those green grass blades. The dark background accentuates the other colors and made it really stand out. I also like the stones on the foreground. This is a pleasant sight and you did this with great concept and painting techniques.

I simply love your work. There is such a innocence you portray in most your art that draws people in. Love the use of colors and then way you highlight the subject by using a black background. Thanks for sharing.
