Summer Bliss

This painting is based on my niece's children, Jackson and Jorja Maynard of northern Maine. They love playing in the ocean. In doing this painting, I took a different approach and if you'll note, there are only shades of gray to blue gray. Except Jorja's reddish hair, of course, which is exaggerated and the only spot of color in the whole piece. Gray is a neutral color and makes everything else around it pop. Given the amount of fun I had creating this painting, I'll be planning to some others from this approach. Please let me know  your thoughts about it.
