Commission by Carole Russell

Keep an eye on your shadows. I know the sun is almost overhead but the girls' shadow is longer than the van yet the van is taller than they are; same with the trees which are much taller yet have barely any shadow.

Like the colors and composition very much. Looking forward to see it finished.

Thanks Diane - haven't really concentrated on the shadows yet, but I'll be looking at where they need to be - the three photos all have a slightly different sun positions so I know it's something I need to work out. Thanks for taking the time to look

Thanks Nora - the girl in question comes from Australia so her botfriend wanted me to use bright colours to remind her of home. Will post when complete

Love the Camper Van. Difficult when working from three photos. I have painted in a similar fashion - I think shadows make a painting Carole. You can make them longer late afternoon? Looking very good to me so far.
