Attitude in a Pink Cap - Oil Study

Sometimes you just paint something for the heck of it.  The 'artistic value' may be lacking, but the fun quotient makes it worthwhile.  In this case I harbored the idea of doing a larger painting of this subject, so I decided to do a 12" x 12" study first.  At this point, I doubt I will go any further with the idea...maybe. 

I was drawn to the darker figure on the right: her 'attitude' intrigued me and it was what I tried to catch.  I also wanted capture the sense of intense light which is the essence of summer days on the beach in California.
 
I painted this on Ampersand Gessobord, a very smooth surface with very limited absorbancy.  I am intrigued with this painting surface and I've done a few small paintings on it, but I still have a learning curve to climb. 

And I love that pink ball cap.
