Magical moments happen all around us every
day. I get a sense of joy when I feel I have captured one on canvas.
Painting this scene of my grandson on a beach in Seaside, Oregon,
immediately transported me back to that day. While painting I could hear his
excitement. I remember him kicking his shoes off as he ran full-speed toward
the water’s edge. Then, in an instant, I saw that “ahhhh” moment when, after
hours of travel and impatient waiting, his foot finally made contact
with the welcoming sea. A huge smile instantly spread across his face and
mine!
For me, this piece is successful it when
causes one to stop long enough to remember such a magical feeling. |
