I wanted to paint a landscape this week, so I looked through some photos for inspiration.  The ones I especially liked were of us rockpooling with lovely friends at Whitburn.  Lots of craggy rocks, slimy seaweed and patches of water.  And children having fun.  So my painting for week 4 is from a photo of my younger son.  I liked his thoughtful expression.  There’s an element of landscape, but in the end it’s really about the boy.  If I did it again I would stress the horizontal feel to the rocks and probably miss out the dinosaur egg in the background…
