Figures at work or Play Abstraction Watercolor and Acrylic on Paper
My favorite of the Collection. A bold figurative painting by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (Brazilian, 20th Century). Two figures in abstract reds and blues stand playfully tossing objects in red, blue and beige, splashes of red erupt. Reminds me of a Birthday celebration.
