Oil over acrylic foundation - figurative

Best summer in recent memory...hot weather by the lake, lunches with good friends, my Critique Group for the Fourth Annual overnight here, our To Family gathering complete, good health, my new kayak. I'll also remember 2018 as the summer I went back to working with the figure, this time my two grandsons in oil. The oldest will be leaving for college soon and family dynamics will change so I wanted to capture this sweet moment of camaraderie between two brothers.
