You have captured their faces beautifully Russell. High contrasting photos are difficult to work from. Great grass just right for bouncing on. Bong, bong. Bong.

Great painting Russell. It is a great challenge to paint four little girls portraits, and you made it masterfully.

You captured the tension of the start for sure. That's a lot of faces and figures in one painting and so well painted.

What a lovely painting. You have captured the different expressions on all the little girls faces beautifully.

An absolute stunner of a picture, Russell. Delightful in every way, I love the expression of the girl on the left. The sunlight beautifully captured.
