"Trio", 4.75 x 8 inches, oil on linen on panel
SOLD
Early on in my career I frequently painted my children. People would ask me, "Doesn't it bother you to sell paintings of your children?" and I would tell them that it didn't. Well, I have a confession to make. Now that my children are grown, there are so many paintings of them that I would give anything to see again. I must have been an extremely ruthless artist way back when.
This was painted from a photo of my kids that's been knocking around my studio for years. Twenty to be exact. I've always wanted to paint it and now I have.
I remember this beautiful summer day with such clarity and such fondness. While painting, I was absolutely taken back to those wonderful years of my life.
Some Sidenotes:
... in the off chance you might be thinking that I'm still as ruthless as ever, let me just say that this painting could very well be the study for a larger piece. It's right off the easel, partly wet and partly dry. I'll take a proper photo of it once it's varnished.
I've joined Twitter! My son thinks it's a good idea. You can follow me @BobbiDunlopArt.
