No swim? No ice cream! by Alix Baker

Excellent. Love the characters you have created and the Title tells a story.

The body language is brilliant.

Thank you so much, Shekinah, Chris and Sylvia. I do like creating a bit of a story and injecting humour when I can! Do you think 3 of them are on their mobiles, grunting a response to the red-capped older person who has brought along a ball for a bit of fund and games...but no takers? Overdressed on a hot summers day!

Fabulous Alix, great observational skills

Super composition Alix and yes they will undoubtedly be on their mobiles! Excellent.

Thank you so much, Heather and Tessa. It's fun doing something amusing and somehow the seaside produces quite a few subjects!

Super skills.

David, thank you but every time an artist paints there's a huge element of risk that it won't come together in the way it was visualised in the head! This was one of those. I suspect painting something amusing might cause a tightening up where there was no intention of that. I have a strong leaning towards illustration and constantly struggle when trying to paint more loosely.
