Time to Go Home


"Time to Go Home", 9" x 12", acrylic on canvas board.

This is my Different Strokes for Different Folks painting for Challenge Week 27-28. I turned the little girl around so she wouldn't be walking out of the painting, and left the sky cloudless since the foreground is so busy. With her head down, she appears to be sadly leaving the beach. This was fun! The source photo may be seen on the Different Strokes Blog. There is a link below.

  1. Love your rendition of the challenge Rosemary. Aren't you lucky to have a sweet and hunky husband too! I did a double take when I saw the painting of him.
