"Boys just want to have fun" - Oil Painting

Oils on canvas (50×70 cm)

I had lots of fun painting this scene of three brothers hard at work on the beach…

One little fellow is trying hard to remove clay and sand from the hole they dug but ends up dropping half his spadeful back into the water…

Another little brother huffs and puffs his way up to the pool but his bucket is always half full by the time he reaches it…

And the oldest brother… well, judging from the grin, he must be the ‘supervisor’...

This painting was done at request from Lisa (New Zealand) and the three brothers are her little sons. I used different photographs and with different poses to make up a story for this painting!! I hope you enjoy the painting, Lisa!!!
