‘Saturday Morning’ was created over the space of a month, from the pencil drawing stage to the fourth and final layer of oil paint. It was an exciting and suspenseful process, as I never really know how a painting will take shape, until I arrive at that final destination.
The crucial element in this painting is ‘the look’ saying, “Sure, I’ll look at you for a quick second, but the sun is in my eyes and I’d rather be running around than standing still…” The focus is in the countenance, with the attire left to a minimum. I’m ever so grateful this little cutie threw me that look one Saturday morning.
