I'm putting on my trunks right now - I could be one of them old geezers ;-). Nice entry for the contest - good luck. Colors are very harmonious and the scene comes together very well. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful paint as you have surely shown what you intended to. I love seeing the beauty of love between the elderly that has endured the test of time. This art reminds me of that special feeling and although I am not there
I can fully appreciate it being very special. A real pleasure to view, excellent work and best of luck in the contest.

Thank you so very much! One reviewer felt I made a mistake to have them leaning.

You're welcome, I think its just preference.
Your choice!

Comment from Lance Olson
Very good piece. You're very good at shading, and your horizon line is perfectly level. Cute subject, the 2 old people are slightly leaning to their right, and so when I look at this I feel like I'm leaning too.

Thank you. As my notes said, I had the old folks leaning as that is what they do.

Can't make out if they are really old or not!:) Nonetheless,this pastel painting is very well rendered. Lovely smooth lines.Details of the figures, sky and the sea are well brought out!The shading is just fine. Overall a very good effort.Good luck!

Comment from Daphne Oberon
This has a gorgeous intermingling of very compatible orange and blue in the water, and the figures tie together the sky and earth. I not only love the subject and intent of the piece but the style -- especially the subtle, realistic turbulence in the water. (I livid in and by the sea in Baja for many years in the 1960's and early 70's; I know realistic water when I see it!) Daphne Oberon

Thank you so very much, Daphne. It has been a while since I did a piece in pastels and I appreciate your encouragement. I used wet pastel washes first to create my underpainting.

Thank you so much, Pat. I felt the matching swimsuits supported their sense of togetherness.
