Sorolla

My three entries were shot in Donostia (San Sebastián), Spain

Not really in a known „art style”,
but, yes, reminding of the style
of some of a renowned artist’s work:
Spanish Impressionist Joaquín Sorolla’s (*1863—†1923)
series of „Children On The Beach” paintings

Sorolla was «new» to me too when I came to live in Spain (nearly thirty years ago). Many of his paintings have an incredible strength in depicting natural light; practically all are worth seeing. Of course, my photograph can’t seriously pretend to be anything like a «Sorolla»; but I am proud you like it anyway, Michael... — db.

Sorolla is also new to me, thanks. This is a lovely piece. -Michael

You got it, kiki2 (and so did you, Cat, in the dpr-thread): I am the author of this picture. Congratulations to both of you! Thanks as well to you, Jim H2, for your kind words! (BTW: What I like also about this image—if I may say so myself—is the child’s reflection on the water.) — db.

Nice shot.. and beach! That wave in the background is fascinating.
Might as well add the guess from the forum here too: db?

Not familiar with Sorolla, but I followed your link and I see the resemblence. I like the contrasting colors of the ocean/sand and child. Jim H2
