Acrylic on Canvas: Summer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania

This is a homework for my painting class. It is an acrylic painting on canvas. I selected the subject is because I liked the postures of the figures. The four Amish children form an excellent group which implies the balance between unity and variety. there is a strong sense of rhythm. Even though it is from a photo, when I was painting, I experimented with colors which interact with each other in sun. It was fun to sweep brushes across large canvas. It's just a study, but it brought memories of my adopted home state Pennsylvania. I was always fascinated by the peaceful Amish Dutch when I was there.
