Painting of Eli at the Creek

This is a new oil painting I recently did of my son Eli in the creek.  I really like this composition.. I like the rocks at the top, and the water of course.  Eli was originally in a red shirt, but I painted it green to have him blend in more with the background.

I’m trying to be a bit more daring and pay more attention to design and composition in my work now.  Playing with this vertical format is pretty fun.   I think the rocks at the top make a nice linear element, and I can see doing an extreme horizontal image with a line of rocks like that.

Not sure what this Wordpress theme is doing with the tag boxes below, but they seem to be freaking out for some reason.. whatever.
