Painting of child at play

Simple Pleasures

Oil on Canvas

This early oil painting of a child speaks of the artist's close connection to the magic of youth, where everything is a mystery, and every day is a new beginning. The subject in this painting is the artist's Son. I think we can all recall the magic of fall leaves.
