Your beach setting artwork is very impressive. I admire how your gifted artistic talent has realistically captured this child's idyllic run on a beach. The child's wet reflection is recreated superbly.

Beautiful reflective quality. Wonderful water color of motion, fun and enjoyment of being out side and having fun. Color combination is perfect. Another enjoyable painting.

Wow I love this Linda, you can definitely tell you put Alot of effort in this painting. Everything has been rendered and blended really well. The position of the boy draws your eye in. It can be challenging, as an artist, to try new things haha.... This one definitely works.

You really captured your theme in this one. I can actually see him running.. The reflection of the boy is spot on, but where are the splashes since he's running in shallow water? Otherwise excellent job!

    He is running on a damp beach where the tide has receded. I took this from an actual photo.

    Thanks. I was worried when I posted it that folks might think it was water.

Wonderful watercolour Linda I love the simplicity of the sunbject and theme and its been very well painted if I may say so! That summertime topic really does come across with his shorts and that floppy hat but its those wonderful reflections and the running action that wins this for me! A great contest entry!

This is a beautiful painting of a child enjoying a summer day on the beach! All the work you put into the reflections was worth it, they are beautiful and look like real reflections. Great entry for the contest. Best of luck!

I like especially the captured motion. It is evident that the child is running and enjoying the speed, sun and sand. The reflection in the wet sand is intriguing. The colors are realistic. The perspective is exact. The painting is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.
