I once again accepted the weekly challenge on Karin Jurick's "Different Strokes from Different Folks" blog.
The photo that was offered appealed to me because I'm drawn to back lit images, especially natural light. The challenge to capture reflections also rocks my world so this image was a pleasure to paint. You can see the original photo on Karin's site and view many artist's interpretations of the same image.
My approach to this painting was a bit of a departure for me. I wanted to keep it loose and impressionist. I didn't want to "copy" the photo, but capture the morning light and the contrast between the outdoor space and the intimacy of the indoor setting.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. Happy December!

Yes. You were right about what Irit said about what Debbie said and give everybody a thumbs up! Buddha or no.
beautiful backlight and your colors are great and vibrant . There is a pleasure in it that most don't have.
Thanks Rick, I think?
Thanks Dominique. Your comment about "pleasure" found in my painting is the nicest thing you could have said! I've been trying hard to bring emotion and feeling into my work lately. It's good to know that it shows!
Excellent in every aspect!
Karen H.,
Thanks for your encouraging words. Your work is excellent as well. I especially love your Christmas card. The lamb is adorable and gives such an appropriate image of our child- like dependence on our Heavenly Father. I'll pray for your friend.
Lovely, intense sense of light Marilyn.
Nancy and Keith, thanks for your kind words which are very encouraging.
Brava, Marilyn! This piece just glows.
