Samana beach kids two - close to final... painting with mud but it's transparent!

After this 3rd pass, I'm pretty much where I want to be. I'd like more contrast in the water area especially in the foreground... I'm also looking at withdrawing the boy's upper left arm behind his upper chest... amongst other minor anatomical adjustments...

Painting kids is a challenge for me as I'm not used to their head/body relationship.

Note: I took a week of vacation taking a rest from painting... an activity that seems to be, from time to time, both brain and nerve wracking for me... particularly since I don't know where I'm going these days!
