Hand painting

Viewing life through a child's eyes can be a magical experience. Last week while at the beach, my son was playing in a large rock pool. The sun was skidding in and out behind clouds giving the water a multi-tonal reflection with shades of shimmering green and blue.

Another child asked him to fill a bucket with water. "Do you want the green or the blue?" he enquired. Priceless.

The feeling of soft sand between our toes and icy sea water brushing our pale skins is still with us, so what better inspiration to take for this week's Three Muses Challenge - give us a hand than a vibrant seascape?

As my child sees the humble rock pool differently, so his mother decides to take an unusual approach in her art and have a bit of fun in the process. So we have this 'hand trailing through the surfscape'. Who said art had to be sensible? Quite an interesting challenge just using the one hand to paint, squeeze out acrylics and then take the photograph! A wee touch of the ocean ripple filter in Photoshop and we're done. A living work of art!!

Would you like some? I can offer blue or green!
