The Red Bucket by Richard Harpum

This is just wonderful! Good Job!

Beautiful painting, love the plastic and the little girl is so well drawn.

You didnt name her Sandy? A quality work Richard!

Stunning - love the lights on her skin and its just perfection

Fabulous work Richard! It's lovely how absorbed children are when playing with sand and you've captured the moment wonderfully.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Much appreciated. James, I had not thought of calling her Sandy, but that would also have been a good name. Maybe on another painting?

A wonderful painting. I hope her mum sees it one day and recognises it - it would be wonderful to keep in the family.

Thanks for your kind comments. My photo was taken a long time ago, before it became politically incorrect to photograph kids, so she's probably a lot older now. Also, I made up her name, so I'm not sure that she or her parents would recognise her.
