Building a Sandcastle, Tenby Beach

This is of my daughter playing on the beach, taken at Tenby South Wales. There's much greater tonal contrast between this one and the previous one of my son on the beach, the shadows here are much stronger, which makes for quite a striking image. The deep purple and red contrasts nicely with the yellow sand, but I think my favourite bit is the cliffs and reflections in the background.

Building a Sandcastle

A much lighter painting this time, with summery colours. This is my little boy digging in the sand, most of the other photos I use are very kindly given to me by a friend of mine. In a way this makes things easier for me to sell them because the ones featuring my own children are that much harder to part with!

The photo this painting was based on was taken on Tenby beach in West Wales.
