Default A departure

I havent done much painting lately but my daughter sent me a photo of my 7 year old grandson playing football for a local boys team.
I really liked the way the photographer captured the feeling of movement and couldnt resist trying to paint it.
Unfortunately my camera hasnt quite got the colours right, but its hanging on my daughters wall and this is my only pic.

You've done a great job with Eddyo, you have captured the movement you liked in the photo.

Seven year old boys are hard to interest in art Joelle, but I caught him looking at it when he thought nobody was watching.
Thankyou David and Peter, yes I am pleased with it.
