Child, of the World

This original acrylic is painted on 24" x 24" gallery canvas. Painted in 2004.

This is my friend Trevor's Son. He was such an adorable, quiet little guy. He is of this earth in every way. He is playful and vibrant. He is alive. He is a child as any other, but his quiet nature gives him away, just a bit. You gotta watch those quiet ones! Like Mother Nature, there's always something up her sleeve.

In this painting you see the sun appearing over the horizon. This is a painting of hope. Of future. Of the vastness that we live within, in this big Universe. We are children growing up in a small part of it, surrounded by it's immense beauty and wonder. And like children, we want to put everyting in our mouths. We want to reach out and touch it. We want to explore!
