“Grandpa Day”
7 x 5” oil on masonite
 
These are the sweet moments you might catch, walking along the beach.  This little girl was enjoying some time with her grandpa, on Oak Street Beach, in Chicago.
 
I use this technique occasionally - where I paint the figures with a smooth, flat brush - then edge that with a hardened bristled brush. It gives a scene like this a little more movement. I think it makes it a bit more casual - as it should.
