Good morning :) It is day 26 and today's painting was commissioned by a friend and loving mother. Her son's birthday is today and she sent me this image telling me that it holds special significance for many reasons, and she would love to give it to him as a birthday gift. The number 7 as well as what was happening on the day the photo was taken are 2 important aspects.. I also see the reflection in the wet sand behind the man as being not only very beautiful, but a key part of the story of this picture. All together, I was honored to be asked to paint such a special painting, and thankful I was asked to paint something very different from what I usually paint. Commissions are one of those gifts that bring me continual artistic interest as well as growth.
Reflections, oil, 9"x12", sold
