LIFE WITH KIDS
This is a painting of a memory. The idea is that the boy looks at the girl, and that is somehow related to the couple at the end of the path. The stylized muted colors remind me of the hot and the dust and the dry of the past or as the name suggests, their future.
I like the self belief. The knowledge and comfort in her own skin. The world is simple here and she is King. Little does she know.
This is about parenting. Drawing boundaries and enforcing them. It is about protection and husbandry. The compositing is a portrait of family.
The maturity of his little face. As the title suggests, this is about the family roles. Lacking the bright colors typical of the portrayal of childhood, this somber little painting explores non traditional family roles.SOLD
