Beach Cherub

Well, here she is at last... my hot babe on the beach... my bathing beauty... my cute little beach cherub. I do love children. To me they represent innocence, hope, potential, purity, meekness, and joy. I love to hold a child's hand, play with a child's feet, and answer every single "why" they can come up with. Painting them, apparently, is no different. I have thoroughly enjoyed every child I've painted. I may have to stick to this genre... 

Back in the Studio

I finally got back in the studio after almost a week. Breaks like this can be good for me, but they are hard on me as well. It's funny how much mental and emotional effort it takes to get myself in front of the canvas. And yet, to not do it is far more painful. 

So I jumped back in to Beach Cherub and got a good start on her face. There's more work to do, but too little time. I am off to a fun adventure today, though. So hopefully I'll have some great references to bring back to the studio.

Beach Babe - Quick Sketch

This is the gorgeous babe I saw on the beach. I'm always nervous about photographing and drawing children because I don't want parents to think I'm a Creepy McCreeper... These parents were great, though, and let me take a ton of photos. This is quick sketch I did. She was so cute as she toddled in the sand, fell over, picked herself back up, and then plopped down and just played in the sand.
