Sea-Leap June 15th 2025
As soon as this girl was on the sand yesterday, she was literally jumping for joy; in her costume, she rushed about the surf line squeaking and laughing with delight, never still. I was lucky to capture something of her joy, I hope, when for a while she was jumping and prancing with the breaking waves. When shown this sketch, she was delighted; her mother explained, “She wants to be a mermaid, when she’s older”.
