Miracle

My friend sent me a wonderful photo of a child, dressed for the rain, on a pathway. The moment the child reached down to touch or pet the duck, the photographer snapped this photo. I thought it was lovely and as I painted it, I appreciated the skill used to get the photo. The background and forefront are hazy so that the child and ducks, stand out. They do this because they are the only items in focus. I like this focal point and tried to get the same in my painting. Hope you like it too.
