Nice painting from a photo.. The figure and sea is well painted and the mountains in the background is less detailed, but that's ok.. Well done and congratulations on the alltimebest!

Nice capture of the hills in the background. Good colours, good reflection in the water , and shows the steepness with the road.

Another fine painting Suzanne.
I like the mood here and the fab colors, textures and amazing details on the sand, rocks, water and your son.
Wall hanging worthy painting.
Well done!

This is beautiful with very good dimensions. Depth of field carries my eyes back to the mountains and out to sea. Always gotta wonder what they're contemplating:) Thanks for sharing.

Oh this is a gorgeous work of art. Love the composition, colour palette and the work on your son is great. The ocean is gorgeous and love the winding path up the mountain. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent moment as a son ponders the road ahead. Should I go right or left or straight ahead. Will he be called to go explore and see what great and awesome view there is? Look to the right and follow your dream. Wonderful well framed painting done with a mothers wishful heart.

Typical of that age not wanting their picture taken, but you have a wonderful capture of him regardless with s fantastic background as well. This is an amazing oil with much detail, color, and texture. I can only imagine how time consuming the painting was.

Beautiful Setting. Love the sight. Composition-excellent. Nice angle and depth of field. Beautiful. Colors are great, as well as the lighting. Lots of details, the splashing of the tide, the road at a distance and reflections in the water. Artist Note is very informative, telling us that this is in New Zealand. Nice scenery. I want to be there!
