A bit of a tweak
So I knew something was still needed on this piece .. and for a while I left it alone. Then I read Astrid's and Dee's comments and you helped me realize (thank you) that the sand/dust needed some more emphasis. Not so much the wind swirls but the dust itself. I'm a bit nervous about going over the top with it, so I added this gradually and I am much happier with it. The idea of the wind and sand image was to connect with the thirst-part of the story. Being in the desert and not having a drink for three days? Just makes me parched thinking about it (or maybe that's the bag of crisps I just polished off) ... Did you like the subtle imagery of the girl 'spilling' the water ...???!!!
Anyway thanks so much for your helpful and lovely comments. Cheers.This is a pretty small image so I don't know if it looks that different, but it does at 21 inches!

That makes a big difference. I can feel the sand blowing in the wind now. It really helps to give the piece the movement it was lacking before. Good call Astrid and Dee. Great piece Leezy - love the colors and the character placement too.
I will start participating again soon. My tile project is almost done and I will be starting the tiling in the cabin shortly (showers and floors). After that I should have more time opening up for fun. It's killing me not to be painting or doing think.jot.draw stuff!! :(
Hi Leeza
I love the changes! Great idea to get the sand blowing, and even going over the tent. It makes one almost feel the sandcorns in the face!
Super dooper!
Hugs!
Astrid
