In the middle of 100 degree heat here in Oregon, I’m thinking of fall with a new series of paintings. The playground, the weather, the suburbs… Makes me want to cry. Well, actually, this kid having no one to play with at the playground makes him want to cry. Last fall only my daughter and I would go over to the playgorund on bad weather days. People must have looked out of their windows and thought, “What a bad father, doesn’t he know she will get sick in this weather!”. Made me think…
This was painted in Photoshop. It is big. At original resolution (500dpi) over 2 feet. This is, obviously, greatly reduced.
Love it–I’m jonesing for the crisp fall weather about now too. I love the foggy background; the way the rooftops peer out of the atmosphere. Reminds me of cooler days. Great work.
This is a great piece. Nice going with contrasting the foreground and background subjects with opposing warm and cool colors. And great expression!
