Dylan at Dillon Beach



This little guy is our niece's son...the photo taken from his first trip to the beach.  Evidently he was both attracted to and a little fearful of it all.  But in the photo it looked like he was embracing the adventure.

My plan was to do a quick study so I just used part of an old canvas. It went along quickly and seemed to be developing into the final... so decided to finish it then and there.  Ended up cutting the piece of canvas off the stretcher bars; final piece was about 5x7.  Our niece was tickled with the surprise and did a lovely job framing it.
