Medium
Painting - Oil/masonite
Description
Birthday Party or A Child's View is a painting done from a photograph I took at a two-year-old's party. I have often been asked why the title is Birthday Party since there are no balloons, cake, etc. The balloons and cake were in another room.
The two-year-olds were involved in parallel play and I wanted to paint something that showed the viewer how that age group sees the world. Since they are usually on the floor playing by themselves their view is oftentimes hands and legs of adults hence the second title.
This painting has an intense surface and is in a silver colored metal frame. This is an impasto painting and is colorful and peaceful.

Kendall - Consider painting my neices? I haven't forgotten the "you know what" - one day you'll receive an unexpected package! Better get to work - was looking at the boat on the Chesapeake and now cannot find it. Will you send it my way - I'd like to order a card or two. Miss you - Katherine
