About the Item

Something in the composition about parenting. What do we steer our little ones toward? What is our guiding light? Our ideal selves? Who should they be in the future? This is painted on her magic landscape. Her sun and tree. Her metallic shimmer. Her little family, her bother and grandpa, looking out together. There is something hopeful and foreboding. A clear look toward the future. I like to paint the happy in life. Looking for those thoughts or moments that bring me joy and define my life. I paint my children. Not just their visage, but their being. Their play, their imaginative world as well as their real world. In this series I have the kids paint first, and I add to their drawing, to capture a little slice of their fleeting childhood. :: Painting :: Fine Art :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: bottom right :: Canvas :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: Yes :: Framed size 1.0"h x 1.0"w x 1.0"d
