Through a childs' eyes on way to new home in Korea

Finally, the piece has been shipped.
This one was included in the Holiday "Artists in Auction" last December. Unfortunately it has taken this long to finalize all transactions. In preparing the shipping documents to Seoul Korea became little sentimental about sending the piece off. Trish McKinney was instrumental in encouraging me back into the world of marketing my Art. Last time had shown my work was by way of Ft. Wayne Ind back in the early '80s. This piece has the name in response to a young child who happen to be walking past us while we were learning techniques that Trish was demonstrating. Watching the mixing of the colors the child became so excited that his Mother was having trouble moving him along.
It's one thing for us to start developing work and quite another watching the excitment of a young child who see's what colors mixed with water can do for the first time. Infectious.

Thank you Master Lou! International site = International Sales (smile) yeah, that's a shameless plug for theartistchallenge.com via Artists in Auction.

I could lose myself in the colors in this one - so beautiful! The new owner is very lucky to have this.

Two things I remember being entranced with as a child, the colors of oil slicks in puddles and peacock feathers. Your colors in this piece are so beautiful, and they remind me of both.

Thank you both for the comments left! and Joanne, I still can't walk past either a pool with oil or a peacock or rain pooling up on a flower and reflecting rainbow lights. Funny you should mention the peacock. The youngun shouted out he saw a peacock in the colors and try as hard as I could just couldn't finish it out as a peacock due to the size of the piece.
