DAY DREAMING II

Dana had as her theme "dreams" and I could only think of my boy Josh when he was younger. He would get into and box and just get lost, looking into the sunshine outside. He did a lot of day dreaming as can be seen in the first one I did HERE.





I have done this piece in gouache on mount-board.

  9. Adebanji, this one is extra special. I can't believe how you captured that strong lighting -- I especially love the little strokes of a slight rose color on his face, and the way there's a shadow just below his eyelashes and then the iris looks translucent in the sunlight. Amazing painting! The father's love shines through here.
