Description

Children Playing Hide and Seek is a 48 x 36 in. acrylic on canvas. In the painting, I strove to capture the freedom and joy of childhood, or at least the way I remember it. The children depicted in the painting are me and my brothers, my wife and her sister, and her sister's husband. My younger brother is counting down at the tree while everyone runs for a hiding place. That is, everyone except for Belle, who is more interested in showing off her dancing than on finding a legitimate hiding place. The home is in a beautiful location in East County San Diego. The painting can also be seen in the book, The Spirited Woman.
