Sam on Second

I loved this soft melancholy melody and the over all feeling of it. I immediately thought of the beach at dawn. The painting was actually completely done in my head by the time I finished listening to the music. I just had to get it on paper. I asked my daughter, Sam, to model for a portrait of a lost soul at dawn. This is Sam on Second.
