Child on Beach - Peggy Riley

Original watercolor painting by Peggy Riley, featuring a charming coastal scene of a young child bending over to examine shells or tidepool treasures along the shoreline. The child is dressed in a blue sun hat, blue top, and yellow shorts, creating a warm focal point against the soft, muted tones of the beach. The loose watercolor technique and subtle reflections in the wet sand give the composition a peaceful, nostalgic atmosphere.

The artwork is hand signed "Peggy Riley" in the lower right corner and is professionally matted and framed in an elegant gold-tone frame under glass. A wonderful decorative piece that captures the innocence of childhood and the quiet beauty of a day at the beach.
