“Hannah, Ryan & Aaron on the Beach” 44″ x 36″ oil on linen

I wanted to capture the energy and playfulness of these energetic children and the fun of being on the beach.  I enjoy the juxtaposition of formality against the relaxed casualness of informal poses in a natural setting. The glimmer of late summer sunlight shimmers everywhere.

What a lovely way to capture the bright-eyed innocence of youth, so quickly lost in the pageantry of life, than with a young family portrait.
