Two Friends at Play

This is a portrait I painted from scratch. During my granddaughter Gianna's first birthday party, I spotted her and a new friend playing together. Children are wiser than many adults for the know that friendship should have no age limits or color barriers. Neither could understand each other , but they became fast friends through smiles. I used mixed media with both Painter Classic and PainterIX software to paint this portrait using my wacom tablet. Below is the photo I took that gave me the idea for this painting.

Artist Reply: Thank you Vivian. I love seeing children in situations like this one. The older girl was being so sweet to the younger one. Didn't matter their age difference or that they didn't know each other a lot. It was time to play and smile at the day together.

This is just heavenly - excellent work Terry - the sense of light, the use of striking, complimentary colors. VERY good - 10!

Terry Harris
Artist Reply: Thank you Jessica! This one was sheer fun to do. I often look for dramatic lighting to practice geting lights and shadows on. I feel I'm weak in this area, so am challenging myself to work on it.
