Hi Linda -
What a neat idea! So nontraditional and a breath of fresh air.....
(and water!)
Great colors, great drawing, fresh and non-stuffy - wonderful!

Thanks Julie,
I tried to paint them loose and unblended, to emphasize the youthfulness and casualness of the moment. I'm glad you like them!

Linda,
Great dyptich! I like the way you have played with the fence/hose angles, and with the egde of the grass. It creates an alternating patchwork, and keeps the eye of the viewer bouncing back and forth between the two paintings. It's a visual surprise and a very creative way to relate the subjects in the two paintings.

Linda,
what a great use of colours. These paintings are like a peacock's tail, they show off your palette marvellously and harmoniously.
Joyful works
Ilaria

Thanks everyone
Yes there is a peacock of colors! I returned to using cadmiums for this painting. If you met the kids you'd see why - they are major balls of energy and "kid-ness" . It just seemed appropriate to emphasize that, their youthful joy, and the sense of fast-moving-glistening-cool-water-on-a-hot-day through color and brushstrokes.

Great concept, Linda. You always stretch for the unique...a lesson for me.
