8x10 oil               Balboa Paddle Boys   click image enlarge
Continuing on my figurative painting journey.   It's challenging to get body proportions right: subtle tones of shadows and light to be learned; how to darken enough to create a conversation between dark and light and yet still reflect the warmth of skin.  These young lads were paddling along one of the canals in Balboa when I was down south for my recent class.  After class, pal Linda and I walked the island. Took photos of folks strolling, boating, paddling...and to top it off - a Balboa Bar (homemade ice cream dipped in your favorite type of chocolate- ymmm).
