Boys on adventure. This creek runs beyond our backyard and it is one of the best places to get the kids to actually go play like actual kids 😄 making mud pies, building dams, finding crawfish, frogs and minnows...
I can't think of a better place for kids to play, outside in nature. Especially today where we are consumed with screens of all kinds. I believe it helps undo all that screen time. Makes them, think, discover, get dirty and truly enjoy themselves. I grew up by a river, a field and a pond and my best memories are being outside all day long.
This painting got frustrating for me. I am rusty from not painting in a while and I feel I could have painted 3 paintings in the time and brushstrokes of this 1 painting. Makes me want to paint this scene again soon.
Two boys exploring carefree summer days. No screens just the moment. You can float on tubes, kayak or canoe on Sugar Creek which runs through Turkey Run State Park, in Indiana.
This little painting is available.
Brothers on Sugar Creek original oil painting $110
Making boyhood memories. My son and his cousin were on a serious mission while camping. This is actually a study of the painting I did years ago. Sad to see it stored away. Hopefully it will find a home one of these days.
This painting brings back memories of my boy's childhood adventures. The brilliant sun shining on their heads was irresistible in this natural setting on a hiking/camping trip years ago.
As most of you parents know, another name for this could be "Fleeting Moments"
