Sprinkler Dash (Growing Up Show)

An earlier look:

Just before posting I snapped a picture - notice my desk with paint brushes, palette and a scrapbook I made in my youth - featuring photos of family pets.

Here's a sneak peak at a painting I'm working on currently called "Sprinkler Dash" (pictured at three different stages). It is the forth painting I'll complete for the Growing Up Show at the McMullen Art Gallery in fall. Featuring my younger sister, myself and family dog Sammy running through a sprinkler together.

I wanted to feature paintings in the Growing Up Show that included blissful childhood moments that not only were never forgotten but were tales lovingly remembered by all who experienced them. Many of the happier moments of my own childhood are because of my loving sister, Michelle.
