I actually broke out Sammy’s water colors today to see how difficult it would be to capture the colors of the water. As mom’s visit here draws to a close, I often think about what she should have as a keepsake of her six month stay. Since she’s crazy about the kite surfers, I decided to set the painting at dusk, when the wind is really ripping. Turns out you can get away with as few as 2 colors – blue and green. I just wiped the colors around with water and it looked just about like the water truly does. Those are the Mokulua Islands offshore. We’re heading over to mom’s cottage for dinner now. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Oh, oh oh! How do I thank you? (Sounds like a Dick and Jane book!) I’m so glad you were here for dinner, and before leaving, could say: “Go look at your computer, Mommy!” And there it was — I don’t know how you just pick up water and color and make such a great wonderful replica of what we get to see every day. It’s beautiful, and made more beautiful because you did it for me. I love you very, very much!
Mommy
Awesome artwork. It is as beautiful as the reality of what you see daily!
Oli.. you are blessed Alli is a very special daughter as you are a very special lady.
