I have been wanting to do this figurative painting for a long time. I remember the day I saw this young girl wade into the Gulf of Mexico, wearing her hat.

It was blinding hot and I was tired and thirsty. I shot a photo of her and went in search of shelter. The image was in my files for years before I pulled it out, and painted it, last week.
It is the first figure I have done with a palette knife, (quite a struggle) but in the end, I am happy with it.
I have to admit, I get lazy. I always feel the figure is a stretch of my sketching skills. Instead of doing more of them, I shy away......the wrong thing to do! I am happy I finally tackled this figure and my goal is to attack them more often.
Thanks for reading my blog today.
