30 Paintings in 30 Days starts today. I've enjoyed getting motivated by this challenge. Here's my first one.... check out the others on Leslie Saeta's blog: http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com/
This is from a reference photo I took at the park this fall. There's a great farmer's market at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, and while you're shopping you can listen to live music. Just on the other side of the pavillion there is this wonderful fountain that the little kids love to play in. Luckily I had my camera and got a few good shots.
This is Cassandra's mom, at the park the other day. My granddaughters were playing on the playground.
I thought she had called her daughter, 'Sandra', which, is a pretty rare name for a little one, so I commented on it to her. She corrected me, and I realized she could make a good painting study, so I snapped a few of her, kinda pretending to be getting pictures of my babies.... ha ha .... people always start to 'pose' if they think you're getting them in the picture ! Either that, or they don't want you to take it, but--it never looks exactly like them, anyway, so I don't know why they care... Oh well
Maybe some of you could offer some insight on how to get pictures of people without them noticing or caring ?
