Galaxy Roller Rink

Here’s a pastel of mom and daughter skating together. I was going to do a vignette, but then I started wanting to do a pink/green contrast thing. I started with a green that was too warm. So I cooled it down and I think how loose it is has captured the movement and the light of that moment. If I’d left it as a vignette then I’d feel less compelled to get the far wall into the painting than I am currently. But the size of the painting lends itself to something less rendered. It’s pretty enough as it stands anyway.
