"Little Angel"


Acrylic (24 X 32)"

Artists Comment:
My grand-daughter had just broken her arm while playing rough. It brought back memories of my own childhood. Me and my brother were real hell-raisers! It is a wonder that I ever made it to adulthood. There is a certain charm about a grubby youngster that gives her "all" while playing.

I am trying very hard to free color. I want it to do more than just delineate forms. In this picture color is largely independent of the form

Detail of Large Picture

 

This is a detail of the girls right shoulder.  Do you see the America-On-Line CD, and the cardboard mailer?   My use of cast-off materials gives them a new purpose and possibly a higher level of importance than they had before.  This applies to people too!
