This is the finished painting based on the previous photo. It's currently up for sale in the Potting Shed shop in Llantrisant, near the Royal Mint. It's acrylic on stretched canvas and the size is the same as an A4 sheet of paper.
A few elements not in the photo were added for interest, such as the red bucket and spade and the rocks and reflections in the distance. A slight hint of red was also added to the sand to warm it up slightly.
I've been commissioned to paint a much larger version for a friend of mind for her mothers Christmas present. It'll be on a landscape format with an extra child added and a dog running in the distance too. The accent colour she wants is turquoise, so it will be interesting to see how it turns out.
