“She was picking the flowers and even did not noticed how she reached the ocean. The weather changed rapidly from the sunshine to a stormy warning; but the great discovery was far more interesting than hiding from a possible rain…!” ………………………………………………………………………………………….That how I would start the book if I was an author; but I am the artist and a conductor of this painting. My client had an old picture hanging oh the wall for years. The picture was of the girl standing on the beach looking at the ocean. The colors fainted and the whole scene was barely seen. The owner asked me to recreate the painting and I’ve gotten permission to add whatever I feel that needs to be added. I was very excited to have this opportunity. I was sure that this girl could really have a great story to tell us. But how to tell the story without any words? In my Visual Art World it is easy! I’ve added several symbols to make the painting speak up. I’ve added daisies to the girl’s bucket, I’ve added birds as the symbol of freedom, and I’ve added a boat (the one that is barely seen yet that what kept the girl standing in excitement. Those full wind sails and the weather that what helped the ocean to look so dramatic)… But here is another little addition that I’ve added. The girl doesn’t know about it yet; but a few seconds later she will see it and I am sure it will make her very happy.. Can you see what it is?..
This painting Girl And The Ocean became my best Bestseller

Hi Irina! Thanks for your kind comment on my blog!
I love this picture of the little girl and the story it tells! I think I see the discovery a few steps from her feet…?
Hi, Irina,
This “illustration” is so lovely and very narrative. Technically, very sensitieve and well-organized. I have a guess for your raising Q. But I keep silent ʚ(ˆ◡ˆ)ɞ. Let the work speak and leave it to viewers.
Irina, you can illustrate a children picture book.
Kind regards,Sadami
That is right Judy, the excitements are not too far away from us, we just need to look for them 🙂
Irina
Thank you Sadami. The secret is still safe.
I'd love to illustrate books, the only one thing scares me a little is that you need to paint the same personage all over again in different scenes. This is tough to make the face of imaginary hero look alike with different profiles on all the paintings in a book.
Thank you,
Irina
I can't see the discovery… hmmm. But I think that it is a wonderful painting; I admire your style and hope to be able to paint so well one day. I also like your choice of words for the opening.
Good to be back viewing your blog. the opening lines of your story and the painting complement so well! The foreground is painted beautifully..
This is just so beautiful Irina. Gorgeous summer colours. xx
I know, I know! It's just a few steps away!
Thank you for commenting on my blog. Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh my goodness, this is so, so, so beautiful! Everything about is just so very touching, right down to the pink ribbon waving from her hair. Wow!
This is amazing!! love it, love it! Great post as well.
This is absolutely gorgeous Irina. Just gorgeous.
This painting is so gorgeous, the setting, the colors. This really spoke to me.. and I think the discovery is the shell
O, Irina, this is gorgeous!
Very touching, it looks a bit like my daughter when she was this age!
