Leap of Faith, 10x8

I got tired of painting single objects and decided what I really needed was something difficult to give me a spark. This is my granddaughter leaping off a rock into a beautiful river. The stop-action shot is just filled with the joy of anticipation. This is the kind of fun that can be had without any technology or admission price whatsoever.

  1. It's lovely, Carmen. The composition, with the river and trees and the little girl jumping just gives me a thrill!

  2. Love this. There is so much anticipation for what is to come. That rush of cool water....Wish I was there...instead I will be trudging through the snow with the dog :-)
