Boardwalk Babes


Well this lovely group of ladies was quite a challenge, having multiple figures will always daunt me a little, or a lot, as in this case. I know I need more practise on this type of subject.
I composed the scene between two photos of artist pals of mine, some were in Mexico a few years back, and one lady was with me on the last big Italy trip.
They would never know themselves though, and although this will sound like an excuse, I was not striving for a likeness, I merely wanted the posture of the women as a guide.
The ladies were not holding umbrellas either, and a couple of them did not have hats or glasses on, however for the sake of color and more character, I decided on using extra props.
All in all I am very glad this one is over, phew!!

Hi Rae,
This is a fabulous job of putting so many figures together and coming out with such a lovely composition, it is a brave job and I admire your talent for that. I liked all your figurative, I need to learn a lot on that!All the best!
