I saw a picture of this little guy and thought about how in his adolescence he has probably seen and lived more of life than many adult humans have.
And I thought I should capture that knowing and pride I imagined in his eyes.
The background is made up of images cut from books and magazines of trees in winter. Painted in acrylics and watercolors.
It’s 54 degrees here in South Florida and I’m painting warm and bright colors for inner warmth.
