About the work
Title: Happy Hour, Great!

Art form: 2-D

Medium: oil

Year created: 2011

Description of work: I just had to paint these kids when I saw them
sitting there. It is a whimsical painting and I hope it will bring a smile to the viewer. This oil is really an allegory for the viewer to decide what is seen in the painting. I did a quick study in watercolor and then painted the oil. Their expressions will be for ever transfixed in time. Most of us have been there and can since the feelings. This is just for fun.
