Avalon Lifeboat Commission

Avalon, New Jersey

I have been busy this week! Today I worked on this commissioned painting of children in a lifeboat at the Jersey Shore. It was a challenge for me since I had never painted figures before. I managed to paint it in my style and I hope that they like it! I didn't put much detail in the faces...I had read about a style called 'mudheads' where the features are just hinted at. This painting is only 11 x 14 so it was hard to get much detail.
