I made a painting of my younger son a couple of weeks ago so, in the interests of fairness, this week is the turn of my elder.  This was from a photo taken on Bamburgh beach, which we love.  It was my birthday and the boys were having a great time climbing on the rocks.  The photo is full of the joy of leaping around on a cold winter day, with the promise of fish and chips to come.  I wanted to capture some of that joy.  I’m showing the half way point as well, as I liked the mysterious quality as the face emerged.
