Son on Swing

My son surprised me today. While we and my grandmother were at the park, plein air painting, he got on the swing set and started swinging all by himself. Of course I captured some cell phone video, but wanted something more to mark the occasion.

5×7 watercolor in collection of Steve Colucci.

I love the subtle washes of the blue and green in this piece, but I am most proud of the simple swing seat with its slight differneces in ight and shadow to give the impression of its gentle 3D curve.
